La signora omicidi (1955)
Una vecchia, simpatica signora inglese prende a pigione un sinistro individuo e i suoi quattro amici che stanno preparando una rapina e che, scoperti, progettano di eliminarla. Due dei più distinti attori inglesi in questa celeberrima e un po' sopravvalutata commedia Ealing, in bilico tra satira e parodia, attraente nel suo impasto di umorismo nero che stinge nel rosa. Scritta da William Rose. Si dice che il prof. Marcus di A. Guinness fosse modellato sull'aspetto fisico del celebre critico e saggista Kenneth Tynan che allora lavorava alla Ealing come consulente letterario.
