"..I shot an arrow in the air..she fell to earth in Berkley Square.." Love it.

I sit with a smile on my face throughout the whole movie.... ' it is a matter of extreme delicacy"....... you've just got to love this romp...

My parents turned me on to this film when I was a teenager... so properly witty! ❤

one of the most over looked and under rated films ever! This is truly a great film! One of the best English films ever made. See it. Thanx for putting it up

>Dennis Price is absolutely excellent...a much underrated actor. Definitely. His role in Tunes of Glory is small but he makes it unforgettable. One of the few who hold his own in scenes with Guinness.

That's my favourite non-comedic Guinness film.

God, I must get my DVD out now and watch the whole film. It still gets in a lot of Top 10 all time lists !

I always laugh my ass off whenever I watch Guiness in drag smashing store windows.

The late great Alec Guiness ! What actor today could knock out such a tour de force, as Kind Hearts ? Pretty much my fave movie since i first saw it 40 + yrs ago

I saw this movie the other day for the 1st time and I think its brilliant!

@newguy90 - "i shot an arrow in the air/she fell to earth in berkeley square" - love it!

Quite right singingtortoise. Much as I like the Ealing comedies they could be a bit seaside postcardish at times. Kind Hearts was really a superior offering though. Sophisticated, witty,urbane and oh so dark! i dont think anyone has excelled Guiness performance as the 7D'Ascoynes. A real tour de force . The screenplay was from the 1907 novel "Isreal Rank" by Roy Horniman. Wish I could find a copy!

This film was my introduction to the extremely talented, not to mention, ultra sexy Dennis Price. Has anyone ever heard of the film "Dear Murderer" from 1947? Price was in it and I loved it (saw it about 17 years ago, and bits of it have still stayed with me.)!! I'd be so grateful if anyone could give me information on "Dear Murderer." Thanks!

Superb film, very dark comedy the like of which we don't see anymore.

This is my favourite film EVER, Guinness is one of my fav actors, and Dennis Price is also excellent in this. If they ever made a remake of this, or planned to, I'd probably react like Lady Agatha, lol!! XD 5* and Favourited for making my day!

Supposedly there was talk back in the 80’s-90’s of a remake that would’ve starred Eddie Murphy in the Alec Guinness role

watched this film today in media studies, in the first few scenes i was a bit sceptical as ive never seen an ealing film before but its great once you get into it, very sinister and witty

Fantastic movie. A Classic in any way possible.

Magnificent elegant comedy and a prime contender for best British film (along with Kes, The Third Man, Sleep Has Her House, The Red Shoes, Comrades, Lawrence of Arabia, and 2001 if you want to count that as British). In any case, it's my favourite. Many people are unaware that for much of the 19th century a minority of rich women could vote while most men could not, and millions of men still couldn't vote until 1918. It suits the capitalist establishment for identity politics to divide and divert from its ongoing class war and further empowerment of the rich exploiting those struggling to make ends meet.

See it in a real cinema if you ever get the chance.. the velvety textures of the cinematic chiaroscuro come to life..

THe best of all black comedies- 10 stars!

"One thing the Ruskies used to do really well." *BOOM*

hey thanks. keep posting more clips i wanted to see this movie. we spoke of it in my film class.

2:46 « Boom-boom-boom » I love this line 😁

thank you very much. i'll wait for it to show on TCM.

this is an excellent film

The Hangman: A difficult client can make things most distressing. Some of them tend to be very hysterical - so inconsiderate.

Haha, Sir Alec is so amazing.

Does anyone else wish there'd been more with Lady Agatha? I love the funeral scene where she says "Shh" to her relatives. I just watched The Horse's Mouth today - perhaps Alec's best performance, excepting maybe Kwai.

He's extraordinary in Tunes of Glory sparing with John Mills, with a calculating Dennis Price playing one off against the other. A very underated film.

Your remark is one of the funniest things I've ever read on KZread. Many thanks!

classic style poetry in motion

God, a year this clip's been up and it is the only one! Well, that's one more reason to see this film!

Love this film, nice one granddad

the Ealing comedies are great, especially those with Guinness

@RobertJohnShepherd The cinema run will also feature 2 other Ealing Studio films; "Whiskey Galore" and "The Lavender Hill Mob" - all great Ealing Studio films.

i shot an arrow in the air, she fell to earth in berkeley square - brilliant !

@mutikonka Yes, that's Guinnes too. Allow me to share this with you and all: I recently attended the funeral of one of my translation professors and discovered that he opened the 1951 Stratford Festival in Ontario with none other than... Alec Guinness! (My prof's name is Daniel Slote, and I'm in Montréal.) What a small world!

fantastic. i love guinness, really i do.

fantastic. i love guinness, really i do. wherever did you find this--and would you ever consider uploading more of it, say the entire film, perhaps? (just a thought, of course)

quite unrealistic. the murder of the general is the only obviious murder in the film. it is a "mistake" of the story.

... nor of his fellow-diner. (Unless he'd already been bored to death by the general's reminiscences.) Presumably the explosion destroyed any evidence capable of being used by 19th-century detectives.

"...a certain confusion of mind, unfortunate in one of his rank." 😂

No way this is my kenobi

All hail Alec Guinness!

Could you possibly explain your comment? Thank you.

what a riot! lol

@priapus56 - I'd call it an increasingly rare kind of relevance for existing, let alone for appearing on TV. I'll take Greer's brand of self advertisement because there's substance behind it and because she's bloody earned the right. Unlike Jonathan Ross, Katie Price, Jeremy Clarkson, Davina McColl etc. How anyone can take issue with someone who has fought all their life for the advancement of human rights is beyond me. Some of them even have daughters and wives too. Odd that.

it was then that I met lady Agatha Ascoine Dasg'oine

Great stuff - who is the actor killing off all the Guinness characters?

lord rufus is the only victim which is obviously murdered not killed by an accident. a "mistake" of the script.

A russian person, that's what he said.

hmmm... this guy is definitely one of the types of minds to be among the first to think up the ugliness evil of war, slavery and abuse he is the poster child of narcassism and abuse and barbarian-ism posing as a "civilized" man/human with no soul or heart!! amazing actor as he portrayed barbarian-civilized so well!

wtf?

Looks as though he only half-drew that bow. Unlikely the arrow would have carried very far.
