Summary: A timid bank clerk, schemes to get back at his employer, the Bank of England, by masterminding a foolproof heist. Not everything goes according to plan however.
In Ealing Studio's classic crime caper THE LAVENDER HILL MOB, Alec Guinness plays Mr. Holland, a fussy and unnecessarily overprotective bank supervisor. However, unbeknowst to his employers the Bank of England, he is the leader of the titular crime gang. So, on the day that a gold bullion lorry is robbed, Mr. Holland is the last person to be suspected. Winning an Oscar for Best Story & Screenplay THE LAVENDER HILL MOB is an Ealing delight that sees Guinness revelling in his scheming character. Look out for the fleeting appearance of a young Audrey Hepburn in the opening scene.

This little beauty from 1951 and directed by Charles Crichton is another winner from the delightful Ealing comedy stable and is far superior to any remake no matter which superstar is in it . This version starring the incomparable Alec Guinness , Sidney James ,
Alfie Bass , Stanley Holloway , John Gregson and Marjorie Fielding
is not to be missed and must surely be one of the best comedy films from that golden era . Guinness plays a timid bank clerk who has for years been within touching distance of a fortune , escorting
gold bullion to the bank vaults . He snaps and decides to steal .
