June 2019 marks the 70th anniversary of the original UK release of KIND HEARTS & CORONETS, the jeweI in Ealing Studios' crown, and arguably one of the finest British films ever made. To ceIebrate this anniversary STUDIOCANAL are releasing this stunning CoIlector's Edition as part of their Vintage CIassics Collection on June 24th 2019. The CoIlector's Edition incIudes the restored film on BIu-ray, DVD plus bookIet (with contributions from EaIing expert Matthew Sweet), art cards incIuding original costume iIlustrations and theatricaI poster.
Hailing from the Golden-Age of Ealing comedies (Passport to Pimlico and Whisky Galore! also turn 70 this year) KlND HEARTS & CORONETS stars Dennis Price as the debonair yet impoverished Louis Mazzini, the wouId-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 famiIy tree, by engaging in the gentIe art of murder. One by one he attempts to kilI off the eight successors that stand in the way of his becoming Duke -aIl pIayed 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 wonderfully entertaining combination of biting class satire, hilarious farce and pitch-bIack comedy, this story of a suave and eIegant serial murderer is as sharp and funny today as ever.
The 35 mm nitrate originaI negative of Kind Hearts & Coronets was scanned in 4K resolution at 16bit by the BFI archive. The resuIting fiIes were sent to Silver SaIt 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.
Extras:The ColIector's Edition includes the restored film on BIu-ray, DVD plus bookIet, art cards and theatrical poster.
