The Lavender Hill Mob (1951)
This is funny stuff. It's a bit lower-key than the other Ealing comedies I've seen, but somehow that air of gentility seems appropriate. More clever than it appears at first glance, too. The final car chase feels a bit protracted, and the moralizing framing device annoys, but a delightful heist comedy is still a delightful heist comedy.
Grade: B+
