Alec Guinness Collection Screen Icons New 5DVD[OPTD1064

Sir Alec Guinness was one of Britain's best-loved and most accomplished actors. His illustrious career spanned over fifty years and incorporated some of the most successful and critically acclaimed films in cinema history. A natural film actor, he received many awards for his work including both BAFTAs and Oscars.

An exceptionally versatile actor, Guinness worked across all genres and was often near-unrecognisable beneath elaborate make-up. With the perfect timing of a comedian and the hypnotic intensity of the greatest dramatic actors, he dazzled audiences in both hard-hitting dramas and side-splitting comedies alike. An unassuming man who preferred anonymity to the glitzy show-business lifestyle, Alec Guinness was a quiet master of cinema acting. One of British cinema's brightest ever stars.

This collection brings together five of the very best comedies Alec Guinness made for Ealing Studios. Each is a comic gem that showcases his astonishing talent. The Man in the White Suit and Barnacle Bill are both classic Ealing David-and-Goliath stories, The Captain's Paradise follows the increasingly farcical life of a bigamist ferry captain, Last Holiday is the tale of a timid man who is given a short time to live, so decides to have a last hurrah and Kind Hearts and Coronets sees Guinness playing all eight members of the aristocratic D'Ascoyne family who suddenly find themselves targets of a ruthless heir. All are essential viewing.
