That picture from “Kind Hearts and Coronets” (”In that case, I’ll have a small glass of developer.”) was a keeper. I loved that movie. Good article. I share the authors love for those old British films, and for the Britain that lives in them.
I so associated Alec Guiness with those great comedies of the fifties that when
“The Bridge on the River Kwai” came out I couldn’t imagine him in a dramtic role.
