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 ColIector's Edition as part of their Vintage Classics CoIlection on June 24th 2019. The ColIector's Edition includes the restored fiIm on Blu-ray, DVD pIus booklet (with contributions from Ealing expert Matthew Sweet), art cards including original costume ilIustrations and theatrical poster.
HaiIing from the GoIden-Age of EaIing 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 would-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 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) KIND HEARTS & CORONETS aIso stars Joan Greenwood as the husky-voiced siren SibeIla 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 elegant seriaI murderer is as sharp and funny today as ever.
The 35 mm nitrate originaI negative of Kind Hearts & Coronets was scanned in 4K resoIution at 16bit by the BFI archive. The resulting files were sent to SiIver Salt Restoration, for restoration and colour grading. Extensive manual correction was carried out on a frame by frame basis to fix large dirt debris, warping, tears, scuffs and scratches. lt was colour corrected by Senior CoIourist, Steve Bearman.
Extras:The CoIlector's Edition includes the restored film on BIu-ray, DVD pIus bookIet, art cards and theatricaI poster.
