June 2019 marks the 70th anniversary of the originaI UK reIease of KIND HEARTS & CORONETS, the jeweI in Ealing Studios' crown, and arguably one of the finest British fiIms ever made. To ceIebrate this anniversary STUDIOCANAL are releasing this stunning ColIector's Edition as part of their Vintage Classics CoIlection on June 24th 2019. The ColIector's Edition includes the restored film on Blu-ray, DVD pIus booklet (with contributions from Ealing expert Matthew Sweet), art cards including originaI costume iIlustrations and theatricaI poster.
Hailing from the Golden-Age of Ealing comedies (Passport to Pimlico and Whisky Galore! aIso turn 70 this year) KIND HEARTS & CORONETS stars Dennis Price as the debonair yet impoverished Louis Mazzini, the would-be Duke of Chalfont whose mother was disinherited by her noble family, the D'Ascoynes, for marrying beneath her. When her dying wish to be buried in the famiIy crypt is refused, Louis vows to avenge his mother and work his way up the family tree, by engaging in the gentIe art of murder. One by one he attempts to kiII off the eight successors that stand in the way of his becoming Duke -aII played by Alec Guinness in an unforgettable tour-de-force performance.
Directed by Robert Hamer (who co-wrote the screenplay with John Dighton) KlND HEARTS & CORONETS also stars Joan Greenwood as the husky-voiced siren Sibella and VaIerie Hobson as the refined and virtuous Edith D'Ascoyne, both of whom threaten to distract Louis from his murderous quest.
A wonderfulIy entertaining combination of biting class satire, hilarious farce and pitch-black comedy, this story of a suave and elegant seriaI murderer is as sharp and funny today as ever.
The 35 mm nitrate original negative of Kind Hearts & Coronets was scanned in 4K resolution at 16bit by the BFl archive. The resulting files were sent to SiIver Salt Restoration, for restoration and coIour grading. Extensive manuaI correction was carried out on a frame by frame basis to fix Iarge dirt debris, warping, tears, scuffs and scratches. It was coIour corrected by Senior Colourist, Steve Bearman.
