Kind Hearts and Coronets
Kind Hearts and Coronets
In the hours before his execution for murder, Louis, the 10th Duke of Chalfont, writes his memoirs. In them he details how, though descended from nobility, he grew up poor and had to pull himself up by his bootstraps, career-wise. Then, discovering that only eight members of the D'Ascoyne family stood between him and the dukedom, he systematically started killing them, making the murders look like accidents.

A film with a difficult tone that pitches consistently at the highest level with some of the sharpest, most effortlessly brilliant dialogue out there.
At least for me it was also satisfyingly English.
Highly recommended.
The finest.
