The Lavender Hill Mob
1951
A mild bank clerk with a passion for Napoleonic gold figurines masterminds a daring bullion robbery, smuggling the proceeds out of the country in a scheme of disarming ingenuity. Charles Crichton's Ealing comedy is a sharply witty heist film, with Alec Guinness and Stanley Holloway leading a charming ensemble.
