Four of the British film industry's best-loved comedies in a single box set makes The Ealing Comedy Collection absolutely needed for anyone who may have any passion in any way for movies. The set contains Kind Hearts and Coronets (1949), The Lavender Hill Mob (1951), The Man inside White Suit (1951) and The Ladykillers (1955).
Ealing's greatest comedies captured the essence of post-war Britain, both of their evocation of an land once blighted by war but now rising doggedly and optimistically again through the ashes, and inside their mordant yet graceful humour. They portray a country having an antiquated class system whose crumbling conventions are increasingly being undermined by means of a new spirit of human opportunism. In the delightfully wicked Kind Hearts and Coronets, a serial killer politely murders his way into the peerage; in The Lavender Hill Mob a put-upon bank clerk schemes to rob his employers; The Man inside the White Suit is really a harshly satirical depiction of idealism crushed by the status quo; while The Ladykillers mocks both the criminals as well as the authorities using its unlikely octogenarian heroine Mrs "lop-sided" Wilberforce.

Many factors contribute for the success of these films--including fine music scores from composers like Benjamin Frankel (Man in the White Suit) and Tristram Cary (The Ladykillers); positively symphonic sound effects (White Suit); marvellously evocative locations (the environs of King's Cross in Ladykillers, for example); and writing that always displays Ealing's unique perspective on British social mores ("All the exuberance of Chaucer without, happily, any of the concomitant crudities of his period")--yet arguably their greatest asset is Alec Guinness, whose multifaceted performances would be the keystone where Ealing built its biting, often macabre, yet always elegant comedy.

On the DVD: The Ealing Comedy Collection presents the four discs in the fold-out package with postcards with the original poster artwork for each. In addition to theatrical trailers on each disc there are not any extra features, which is really a pity due to the importance of these films. The Ladykillers is at muted Technicolor and presented in 1.66:1 ratio, a few earlier films are typical grayscale 1.33:1. Sound is perfectly adequate mono throughout. --Mark Walker
