I Do Movies Badly: Ealing Comedies

I Do Movies Badly hall-of-famer Gavin Mevius returns to bring some joy back to the world (or, at the very least, to the podcast) by recommending some comedies from Britain’s Ealing Studios! Gavin fills us in on the studio that, though only active from 1947 – 1957, gave us Alec Guinness and Peter Sellers as well multiple comedies of manners that responded to World War II not with cynicism and film-noir but with laughter. Sadly, he can only recommend three titles, so he goes with Kind Hearts and Coronets (1949), The Man in the White Suit (1951), and–in the absence of streaming rights for Whisky Galore—The Ladykillers (1951).
