An absolutely uproarious comedy of a band of thieves who rent a room above an old, kindly women pretending they are a band at rehearsal. Alec Guiness and all the the rest are hilarious and find themselves in a pickle once the sweet old thing learns the entire sordid mess. Great comedy from the Ealing Studios and Alexander Mackendrick who put out hit after hit. Look to Peter Sellars in a pretty early role as one of the merry band of crooks.
