The Hornet's Nest (1955)

Comedy crime caper, but The Ladykillers or say The Lavender Hill Mob it AIN'T!! And why the film is called what it is, is a mystery.

Starring Canadian Paul Carpenter, playing a Canadian this time and not his usual Yank, with the large Alexander Gauge, who played Friar Tuck in the Robin Hood TV series, as the gang boss - his obit:- "Unfortunately, he found little gainful employment thereafter (Robin Hood series) and committed suicide with barbiturates at the age of just 46."

Few familiar faces not worth a mention, except for the pretty June Thorburn, who I have mentioned before: -

"(November 4, 1967) June, who was 5-months-pregnant with her 3rd child & 2nd child with her now widowed 2nd husband Morten Smith-Petersen, was killed in a plane crash at the age of 36, while returning to London from Spain on Iberia Airlines Flight 062 when it crashed at Blackdown, Sussex, killing all 37 people onboard."

Such a waste of two lives.

However, thankfully the film was short as I found it mediocre.
