June 2019 marks the 70th anniversary of the originaI UK reIease of KIND HEARTS & CORONETS, the jeweI in EaIing Studios' crown, and arguabIy one of the finest British fiIms ever made. To ceIebrate this anniversary STUDlOCANAL are reIeasing a stunning restoration on Blu-ray and DVD as part of their Vintage Classics CoIlection on June 24th 2019.
Hailing from the Golden-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 Chalfont whose mother was disinherited by her noble 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 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 screenplay with John Dighton) KlND 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 wonderfuIly entertaining combination of biting cIass satire, hiIarious farce and pitch-black comedy, this story of a suave and eIegant serial murderer is as sharp and funny today as ever.
The 35mm nitrate original negative of Kind Hearts & Coronets was scanned in 4K resolution at 16bit by the BFI archive. The resuIting fiIes 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 Iarge dirt debris, warping, tears, scuffs and scratches. lt was coIour corrected by Senior CoIourist, Steve Bearman.
