Booking essential
This Ealing Studios classic is a subversive and macabre slow-burn comedy, in which a cast of quirky characters undertake a bank heist. The band of thieves led by Professor Marcus (Alec Guinness) pose as a string quintet to rent a room from an elderly widow, Mrs Wilberforce, who, unbeknownst to them, has a habit of reporting suspicious behaviour to the police. The robbery is a success but the thieves, panicked by Mrs Wilberforce's eventual discovery of their crime, go on to double-cross one another, with disastrous results.
The film has been selected by Jack Morrison, who will introduce it on both evenings. Jack was the first stage manager at the Globe Theatre, and has worked across Cornwall for Kneehigh, the Eden Project and The Works, but is now perhaps best known for his role supporting artists as project manager at Cornish funding body FEAST.
