The Lavender Hill Mob consists of four men. Holland (Guinness), a bank transfer agent; Pendlebury (Holloway), a man who makes Eiffel Tower souvenirs, and thieves Shorty (Bass) and Lackery (James). Their target is the gold Holland delivers.TLHM is another Ealing Comedy with wit and a smidgen of slapstick. All four characters feel different and seem to make a good crime team. There is a lucrative scene in the second half involving a spiral staircase which has got to be the eeriest scene out of all the ealing comedies.
****Good
