Kind Hearts and Coronets
A superb black comedy about a man who ruthlessly eliminates eight of his relatives (all played to perfection by Alec Guinness) in order to inherit a title and stately home. Dennis Price is fantastic as the villain of the piece. Based on an obscure Edwardian novel, 'Israel Rank' by Roy Horniman.
