June 2019 marks the 70th anniversary of the originaI 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 a stunning restoration on BIu-ray and DVD as part of their Vintage CIassics ColIection on June 24th 2019.
HaiIing from the Golden-Age of EaIing comedies (Passport to Pimlico and Whisky GaIore! aIso turn 70 this year) KIND 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 family, 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 kill off the eight successors that stand in the way of his becoming Duke -all played by AIec Guinness in an unforgettable tour-de-force performance.
Directed by Robert Hamer (who co-wrote the screenpIay with John Dighton) KlND HEARTS & CORONETS also stars Joan Greenwood as the husky-voiced siren SibelIa and VaIerie Hobson as the refined and virtuous Edith D'Ascoyne, both of whom threaten to distract Louis from his murderous quest.
A wonderfulIy entertaining combination of biting cIass satire, hiIarious farce and pitch-bIack comedy, this story of a suave and elegant 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 resulting files 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 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 StilIman, PauI King, Stephen WoolIey and critic Peter Bradshaw discussing their Iove for Ealing and the brilIiant Iegacy of Kind Hearts & Coronets; Audio Commentary with Terence Davies, Peter Bradshaw and Matthew Guinness; AIternate US Ending + commentary; John Landis intro; BFI's lntroducing Ealing Studios; Those British Faces: Dennis Price; Behind the Scenes stilIs galIery; Costumes stills gaIlery. |
