The Lavender Hill Mob

In Ealing Studios' classic crime caper The Lavender Hill Mob, Alec Guinness plays Mr. Holland, a fussy and unnecessarily overprotective bank supervisor. However, unbeknowst to his employers the Bank of England, he is the leader of the titular crime gang. So, on the day that a gold bullion lorry is robbed, Mr. Holland is the last person to be suspected. Winning an Oscar for Best Story & Screenplay, The Lavender Hill Mob is an Ealing delight that sees Guinness revelling in his scheming character.
