Judge this not by the loose 2004 Coen Brothers' remake, The Ladykillers is a delightful Ealing comedy, bringing together Peter Sellers and Herbert Lom (later to reunite in The Pink Panther), standing out among a wonderfully zany cast.

Alec Guinness is a comical mastermind, finding his way into the house of the old and unsuspecting Mrs Wilberforce (Katie Johnson). He gets together a freakish gang of villains, all planning a highly complicated caper -- but a snoring landlady isn't as easy to get by as they initially think. Fab.
