Synopsis

Kind Hearts and Coronets (1949) box art Alec Guinness portrays eight different members of the D'Ascoyne clan, a wealthy family that is being bumped off one by one as a disowned scion, Louis (Dennis Price), murders each heir in his way of inheriting the bloodline's dukedom and fortune. Guinness is mesmerizing in this black comedy as he disappears into each various role -- young and old, male and female. Valerie Hobson and Joan Greenwood co-star as Louis's divergent love interests.
