When you’re eighth in line to a title (and the wealth that comes with it) there’s only one way your chances of inheriting can be improved… and that involves the deaths of all of those further up the family tree. When this truth dawns upon young Louis D'Ascoyne he decides that the process needs to be accelerated - the family needs to be bumped off… one by one. Louis sets about the task and dispatches his relatives in increasingly inventive ways…
From the Golden-Age of Ealing comedies and a classic of British cinema, Kind Hearts & Coronets stars Dennis Price as Louis D'Ascoyne and Alec Guinness as all eight of the unfortunate victims.
Escape the post Christmas blues, abandon the left overs, switch off the mediocre merry telly shows and come with us into the magical world of classic cinema. There’ll be a supporting programme of classic merry films and the festive bar will be open. Bring your friends… bring your relatives… as long as you promise not to murder them until you get home… (UK 1949)
