Kino Lorber are preparing 4K Blu-ray and Blu-ray releases of Alexander Mackendrick's classic comedy
The Ladykillers (1955), starring Alec Guinness, Cecil Parker, Herbert Lom, Peter Sellers, and Danny Green. The two releases are expected to arrive on the market later this year.
Description: Mrs. Wilberforce (Katie Johnson) likes to report suspicious behavior to the police. Unaware of her reputation, the dapper thief Professor Marcus (Alec Guinness) rents rooms in the elderly widow's home for himself and his band of cohorts. Posing as a string quintet, the thieves pull off a bank robbery, but slip up in front of the old woman as they try to escape. Agreed that they need to murder her, the bumbling crooks wind up double-crossing each other and slowly killing themselves off.
4K RESTORATION BY STUDIOCANAL.
