Considered by many as the finest British comedy ever made, THE LADYKILLERS follows the hilarious capers of a group of small-time crooks, taking on more than they can handle in the form of their sweet elderly landlord, Mrs. Wilberforce (BAFTA Award winning actress Katie Johnson; How To Murder A Rich Uncle). The criminal gang, posing as a string quartet, are unprepared for their landlord’s meddling when one of the ‘musicians’ cases gets caught in a door, revealing the group’s true identity.

Ein Highlight der berühmten Ealing-Comedys. Schwarzer Humor vom Feinsten. Der Film gehört in jede Sammlung!

Wie so oft ist auch hier das Original dem Remake haushoch überlegen. Daran kann in der Neuverfilmung nicht einmal Tom Hanks was ändern...
Super Film

Hier ist endlich das unübertroffene Original auf DVD. Die Ladykillers-Version von 2004 wikt dagegen albern und bemüht.
