Kind Hearts and Coronets
He chopped down the family tree...
Directed by Robert Hamer
Produced by Ealing Studios, J. Arthur Rank Organisation
A darkly comic murder spree through the English aristocracy, where a wronged man's systematic revenge is undercut by wit, charm, and the complications of the heart.
When his mother eloped with an Italian opera singer, Louis Mazzini was cut off from her aristocratic family. After the family refuses to let her be buried in the family mausoleum, Louis avenges his mother's death by attempting to murder every family member who stands between himself and the family fortune. But when he finds himself torn between his longtime love and the widow of one of his victims, his plans go awry.
