Description: This is marketed as "The Classic Movie Collection". When played it shows that the DVD was produced by Criterion. HOWEVER, THIS IS NOT THE TWO-DISC VERSION YOU'LL ALSO SEE OUT THERE. THIS PACKAGE IS ONE-DISC WITH OPTIONAL KOREAN SUBTITLES, THE MOVIE IS THE ORIGINAL VERSION IN ENGLISH. MOST OF THE INFORMATION ON THE CASE IS PRINTED IN KOREAN. I HAVE TESTED IT, IT WORKS PERFECTLY FINE. See below for more information on this dark comedy classic. Set in Victorian England, Robert Hamer's 1949 masterpiece Kind Hearts and Coronets remains the most gracefully mordant of the Ealing comedies. Dennis Price plays Louis D'Ascoyne, the would-be Duke of Chalfont whose mother was spurned by her noble family for marrying an Italian singer for love. Louis resolves to avenge his mother by murdering the relatives ahead of him in line for the dukedom, all of whom are played by Alec Guinness. Guinness's virtuoso performances have been justly celebrated, ranging from a youthful D'Ascoyne with a priggish wife to a brace of doomed uncles and one aunt. Miles Malleson is a splendid doggerel-spouting hangman, while Valerie Hobson and Joan Greenwood take advantage of unusually strong female roles. But the great joy of Kind Hearts and Coronets is the way in which its appallingly black subject matter (considered beyond the pale by many critics at the time) is conveyed in such elegantly ironic turns of phrase by Price's narrator/antihero. Serial murder has never been conducted with such exquisite manners and discreet charm. --David Stubbs. We will ALWAYS COMBINE SHIPPING on items that do not ship for free.
