UK, 1949, 106 min. In this darkly funny Ealing comedy Dennis Price plays Louis D'Ascoyne whose mother was rejected by her noble family for marrying an Italian tenor for love. Louis decides to avenge his mother by murdering the relatives ahead of him in line for the dukedom, all of whom are played with incredible virtuosity by the brilliant Alec Guinness. They range from a youthful D'Ascoyne to a slew of uncles and one Aunt Agatha.
