Customer Reviews

Be sure to find the Criterion version.

Here is Alec Guinness, and Alec Guinness, and Alec Guinness, and… Louis D'Ascoyne (Dennis Price) would be next in line for a title and a large inheritance except for one thing: his mother ran off with an Italian singer, which was unacceptable. Now he is disinherited by his immediate and extended family. His mother dies rejected; it is pure murder trying to get back into the good graces of his family. Alec Guinness plays the different characters that are relatives, including “The Duke/The Banker/The Parson/The General/The Admiral/Young Ascoyne/Young Henry/Lady Agatha.” Based on a novel by Roy Horniman, it is a story of revenge and reluctance to give people their due.
