One of the great British comedies, and the final film in Technicolor.

I have the UK 4K box set and it looks great. It’s one of my favorite British films and a excellent performance by Alec Guinness.

It's the classic Ealing Studios release of that period. And the cast was perfect, seeing Peter Sellars and Herbert Lomb with Alex and that little old lady...it was like a Tweety Bird WB cartoon, set to live action...sublime!!!

I'm working on my review after watching the 4K last night. Gorgeous restoration by StudioCanal and Kino's encodes look stunning. The last time I watched it was via the Lionsgate/StudioCanal Blu-ray from over a decade ago, which left a lot to be desired.
