THE LADYKILLERS (ORIGINAL) (1955)

ALEXANDER MACKENDRICK

Plot

The last of the Ealing comedies. A gang of crooks take up lodgings in the house of a dotty old lady. Using her as cover they plan a bank robbery. However their ineptitude and a chain of misfortune lead to their downfall and a windfall for the naive, innocent old lady. Oh so dark and oh so brilliant!
