Editorial Review:

Amazon.com:
In English comedy at its blackest (and funniest) pitch, this droll 1955 farce finds Alec Guinness in one of his typically deft, chameleon turns as would-be criminal mastermind Professor Marcus. When Marcus's grand plan to pull off a train heist leads him to a strategically situated house occupied by the genteel Mrs. Wilberforce (Katie Johnson), the ensuing masquerade triggers a mordant, even macabre comedy of manners. With Marcus and his rough-hewn cronies (Herbert Lom, Peter Sellers, and Danny Green) posing as a string quartet, and the dear lady's demise seen as the means to their larcenous end, the gang's sinister machinations are consistently, if unwittingly, foiled by the good-hearted, resourceful widow. --Sam Sutherland

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Absolutely perfect
Very few films achieve perfection but this one comes close to it. Alec Guiness as the leader of a band of dysfunctional robbers, is wonderful. I won't try to summarize the movie, that's been done enough already...but...Guiness rents a flat from a very nice, little old lady and tells her that he and his musician friends will be practicing a lot. In fact they are planning their grand heist.

The little old lady, who is ever so helpful, is constantly butting in to the increasing unhappiness ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Right On, Mrs. Wilberforce
It's pretty well known in certain circles, like the ones I grew up in some time ago, that the British movie studio known as Ealing created a series of wonderful comedies in the 1950s. I can still remember the thrill of anticipation I had, as I scrunched down in my seat in the movie house, and the J. Arthur Rank living logo, that bare-chested, muscular, well-oiled man, who hit the great big dinner gong, came on the screen. And "The Ladykillers"(1955), quite a black comedy, has long been considered one ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - ...humor of the finest kind
There is only one "The Ladykillers" and this is the British one from 1955 lensed by Alexander Mackendrick. It is definitely not the one remade in 2004 by Ethan and Joel Coen!

A charming and well worth watching criminal comedy of its best, with marker jokes, witty and imaginatively directed as well as brilliantly presented by Katie Johnson as Mrs. Wilberforce and Alec Guiness as professor Marcus. Especially the first half is full of ironic serving beautifully the comic of this first class movie. ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great old Movie -
If you like dry humor, great acting, and classic-type movies - you'll love this. I've watched it periodically for years and still love it. It is a one-of-a-kind!!!! I highly recommend it.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - The Ladykillers
This is the classic version - the "remake" stunk to high heaven. No one is better at this type of film than the British! They just know how to pick the right actors for the parts they play. This movie never gets old and is as funny today as when it was made. A totally enjoyable film experience for all ages.

Queen Victoria will fly the red ensign; she will have the name of her home port, Southampton, on her stern, and she will have a British Captain and Officers.   In design terms the cruise Cunard Queen Victoria will have an undeniably British feel with two British design teams being responsible for the interior of the Cunard Queen Victoria.

Queen Victoria is being built at Italy’s Fincantieri shipyard in Marghera, near Venice, with her keel laid on July 12, 2003. One of the most technically advanced shipbuilders in the world, Fincantieri has built more than 7,000 vessels, including many for Cunard’s parent Carnival Corporation. Originally ordered as the fifth in a series of five 'Vista' class ships for sister company Holland America, the contact was signed over to Cunard before the keel was laid and Holland America then ordered a further ship for delivery  in 2006.   Enjoy a Cruise on Queen Victoria.  The lead ship in the series, Zuiderdam, entered service in December 2002.

No cruise schedules have yet been announced. Her float out is scheduled for May 2007, prior to her delivery in March 2008.She is scheduled to enter service in April 2008.
