Kind Hearts and Coronets (1949)

There's not often a movie that shook the world as much as this one at the time. Not only did the one actor, Alec Guiness, play a whole family that was aimed to be murdered by the end of movie, it also showed up English society as it still sometimes truly is. Never mind the few redshirts nor working class people, all mere tabloid readers in essence, who still object to this portrayal. Trust me, I've come across plenty of English upper class twits or wannabes to know better. No, my favourite sequence of this movie is when one of the murders occurs while the murderer was sitting quietly in the garden enjoying afternoon tea. How very English to be murdered in ones own garden shed. There's a perverse subsurdity attached to it
