Lavender Hill Mob

In Ealing Studio's classic crime caper THE LAVENDER HILL MOB, Alec Guinness plays Mr. Holland, a fussy and unnecessarily overprotective bank supervisor. However, unbeknowst to his employers the Bank of England, he is the leader of the titular crime gang. So, on the day that a gold bullion lorry is robbed, Mr. Holland is the last person to be suspected. Winning an Oscar for Best Story & Screenplay THE LAVENDER HILL MOB is an Ealing delight that sees Guinness revelling in his scheming character. Look out for the fleeting appearance of a young Audrey Hepburn in the opening scene.
