The Lavender Hill Mob, DVD DVD

DVD

Description

Classic Ealing comedy starring Alec Guinness as a mild-mannered bank clerk whose sudden compulsion to rob the bank he works for causes all manner of chaos.

Henry Holland (Guinness) has been trusted with delivering gold bullion for 20 years and is considered a safe pair of hands by his employers.

However, Henry harbours dreams of becoming rich and hatches a plan to steal the gold when he makes the acquaintance of Alfred Pendlebury (Stanley Holloway).

The pair realise that if Alfred melts the stolen gold into miniature statues of the Eiffel Tower, it could be smuggled safely to France and sold on.

However, things go awry when the gold statues become mixed in with a group of ordinary statues, leading to a frantic chase as Henry and Alfred try to recover the gold without their crime being detected.
