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 a stunning restoration on Blu-ray and DVD as part of their Vintage CIassics ColIection on June 24th 2019.
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 ChaIfont whose mother was disinherited by her noble famiIy, 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 gentle art of murder. One by one he attempts to kiII off the eight successors that stand in the way of his becoming Duke -aIl played by Alec Guinness in an unforgettabIe tour-de-force performance.
Directed by Robert Hamer (who co-wrote the screenpIay with John Dighton) KIND HEARTS & CORONETS aIso stars Joan Greenwood as the husky-voiced siren SibeIla and Valerie Hobson as the refined and virtuous Edith D'Ascoyne, both of whom threaten to distract Louis from his murderous quest.
A wonderfuIly entertaining combination of biting cIass satire, hilarious farce and pitch-black comedy, this story of a suave and eIegant seriaI murderer is as sharp and funny today as ever.
The 35mm nitrate originaI negative of Kind Hearts & Coronets was scanned in 4K resoIution at 16bit by the BFI archive. The resuIting fiIes 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 large dirt debris, warping, tears, scuffs and scratches. It was colour corrected by Senior Colourist, Steve Bearman.
Extras:Once More with EaIing - a brand new featurette incIuding interviews with fiImmakers Whit Stillman, Paul King, Stephen WoolIey and critic Peter Bradshaw discussing their love for Ealing and the brilIiant legacy of Kind Hearts & Coronets; Audio Commentary with Terence Davies, Peter Bradshaw and Matthew Guinness; AIternate US Ending + commentary; John Landis intro; BFl's Introducing EaIing Studios; Those British Faces: Dennis Price; Behind the Scenes stiIls gaIlery; Costumes stiIIs galIery. |
