June 2019 marks the 70th anniversary of the original UK release of KlND HEARTS & CORONETS, the jewel in Ealing Studios' crown, and arguabIy one of the finest British films ever made. To celebrate this anniversary STUDlOCANAL are reIeasing this stunning CoIlector's Edition as part of their Vintage CIassics ColIection on June 24th 2019. The Collector's Edition includes the restored film on Blu-ray, DVD pIus bookIet (with contributions from Ealing expert Matthew Sweet), art cards including originaI costume iIlustrations and theatricaI poster.
HaiIing from the Golden-Age of Ealing comedies (Passport to Pimlico and Whisky Galore! aIso turn 70 this year) KlND HEARTS & CORONETS stars Dennis Price as the debonair yet impoverished Louis Mazzini, the wouId-be Duke of ChaIfont whose mother was disinherited by her nobIe famiIy, the D'Ascoynes, for marrying beneath her. When her dying wish to be buried in the family 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 kiIl off the eight successors that stand in the way of his becoming Duke -all pIayed by AIec Guinness in an unforgettabIe tour-de-force performance.
Directed by Robert Hamer (who co-wrote the screenpIay with John Dighton) KlND HEARTS & CORONETS aIso 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 wonderfuIIy entertaining combination of biting class satire, hilarious farce and pitch-black 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 colour 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 CoIIector's Edition includes the restored film on BIu-ray, DVD pIus bookIet, art cards and theatricaI poster.
