The Lavender Hill Mob Ratings & Reviews
Washington Post
Richard L. Coe
Alec Guinness is delightfully dry as the thinking worm and Stanley Holloway a perfect foil as the blustery geegaw manufacturer.
Photoplay
Sara Hamilton
A British riot.
Newsweek
Newsweek Staff
Another of those relaxed, delightful whimsies which the British seem to be able to compound out of a slightly off-beat idea, a true eye for character, and a liberal lacing of the national humor.
Motion Picture Herald (Exhibitors Herald)
Tom Canning
The Lavender Hill Mob is funny in word and deed.
Harrison's Reports
P.S. Harrison
Cleverly written, directed, and acted, it is a sly burlesque on crime pictures in general.
America Magazine
Moira Walsh
T.E.B. Clarke's script is a tongue in cheek masterpiece of ingenious improbability.
Buffalo News
Mary Nash
A deliciously droll, ingenious English comedy.
Tampa Bay Times
Lillian Blackstone
The picture is hilarious, excellently timed.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Myles Standish
A lark and a laugh from beginning to end.
San Francisco Examiner
Hortense Morton (Screen Scout)
This is a rare comedy treat.
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
Harold V. Cohen
This much is certain, the ways of the ancient Keystone Kops have been carefully studied and diligently absorbed here.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Mildred Martin
Guinness carries the film easily and almost completely, aided and abetted by Director Charles Chrichton.
New York Daily News
Kate Cameron
The Lavender Hill Mob is a highly amusing satire on the gangster and chase-type of films and is a result of a successful combination of picture makers.
Los Angeles Times
Philip K. Scheuer
Guinness steers a delightful course between the subtle and the broad, drawing a portrait that is devastating and, if you choose to look at it that way, frightfully unmoral, or amoral, as well.
Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com
Eleanor Wilson
The lavender Hill Mob is highly recommended for an evening of movie enjoyment.
Detroit Free Press
Helen Bower
What goes on in the mind of a meek, low-salaried little man in a position of trust is put into the movie's perfectly-executed action.
Chicago Tribune
Mae Tinee
While the story of their nearly perfect crime is slight, it is skillfully sly and subtly humorous, and its people are warmly human and idiotic.
Boston Globe
Marjory Adams
The Alec Guinness picture is top-hole, as they say in England, with some wonderful wit, jolly dialogue and an alluring plot.
Decent Films
Steven D. Greydanus
While the caper-gone-wrong comedy genre has been done to death in recent decades, The Lavender Hill Mob avoids most of what became the clichés of the genre.
New York Times
Bosley Crowther
Suffice it to say that Charles Crichton has directed the whole thing with a touch of polite and gentile mockery applied to wholehearted farce: that Mr. Guinness and Mr. Holloway are deliciously adroit in their roles.
