Competitions: Win a boxset of Ealing’s Greatest Comedies
We’ve got three Blu-Ray boxsets up for grabs showcasing some of Sir Alec Guinness’s best work. These three great Ealing comedies capture the essence of post-war Britain – not just as a land blighted by war, but as a nation rising from the ashes with admirable optimism and a great sense of humour to boot.
This trilogy makes for the perfect introduction for newcomers to the Ealing Classics collection, and it includes:
Kind Hearts and Coronets – a delightfully wicked film whereby a serial killer politely murders his way into the peerage.
The Lavender Hill Mob – where a hard-done-by bank clerk schemes to rob his employers.
The Man in the White Suit – a harshly satirical depiction of idealism crushed by the status quo.
This boxset is a must-have for film lovers, Alec Guinness fans or anybody interested in modern British history.
To win, simply tell us:
What is the name of the Ealing film featuring a polite serial killer?
