The Garden Cinema is delighted to screen The Lavender Hill Mob, which was the only film that was unavailable during our Autumn season 'Celebrating Ealing Comedies'.
In keeping with our season's ethos, the film will be introduced by Lawrence Napper [KCL], who will host a discussion group in The Garden Cinema’s cosy den in the end.
Synopsis:
One of Ealing’s most good-natured comedies, The Lavender Hill Mob is the enduringly funny story of a nobody bank employee’s ingeneious plan to rob the Bank of England and the motley crew that he assembles to carry out the raid. Much bungling and hilarity ensues as their plan threatens to come unstuck thanks to French bureacracy and some pesky English school girls.
Cast:
Alec Guinness, Stanley Holloway, Sid James, Alfie Bass, Marjorie Fielding
