Kind Hearts and Coronets (Episode 228) - Hot Date with Dan and Vicky

The novel on which 1950's film Kind Hearts and Coronets is based treated the story of an entitled royal reject who goes to murdeous lengths to secure his place in the lineage deadly serious.  The film, however, written and directed by Robert Hamer, turns it into a pitch black comedy, perhaps the first of it's kind made in England.  The Ealing Studios release stars Dennis Price, Valerie Hobson, Joan Greenwood, and in a tour-de-force, Alec Guinness playing eight characters. Dan and Vicky discuss the film, ranked as one of the best British films ever made, along with lots of recently seen including If I Had Legs I'd Kick You, Send Help, 28 Years Later: Bone Temple,  Luc Besson's Dracula, Good Luck Have Fun Don't Die, Train Dreams, and Wuthering Heights.   Our socials:  hotdatepod.com FB:  Hot Date Podcast X: @HotDate726 Insta:  hotdatepod
