Tuesday, March 29 - The Lavender Hill Mob

The Lavender Hill Mob (1951)

For years, Henry Holland, a timid, bespectacled bank clerk, has been dreaming of getting his hands on the impregnable Bank of England's precious gold reserves. Nevertheless, after two long decades of service, even though Henry's got everything planned down to the last detail, the mousy gold bullion carrier realises that he can't pull it off all alone. As a result, Holland talks his artistic next-door neighbour, Alfred Pendlebury, into lending a hand to disguise gold ingots worth over £1 million as souvenir Eiffel Tower paperweights, and, before long, an audacious quartet of bank robbers embarks on a challenging and dangerous mission to strike it rich under everyone's noses.
