Genres & Description

Comedy Crime

8.1 / 10

In prison awaiting execution the next morning, Louis, the 10th Duke of Chalfont, puts down on paper the events that led him to his current situation. His mother has been banished from her family, the D'Ascoynes, after she married Louis' father, who was considered far beneath her. After her death, the D'Ascoynes refused permission for her to be buried in the family crypt. Louis then plots his revenge, and kills all those ahead of him in the succession until he becomes the Duke. Along the way, he becomes involved with the married Sibelia who, when spurned, makes sure he ends up in prison. The day before his execution, Sibelia recants her testimony, saving him not only from the gallows, but also sets him free. Once outside the prison however, he realizes he's forgotten one little thing.

Me neither ;) but it was memorable for me for some reason, recalling my first viewing of the film in the early '70s...I remembered the quote before I could think of the movie title, hence the Google search! Cheers! - @Monday, July 8, 2013 12:59 AM

A real treat from the "Age of Elegance" the Yanks simply couldn't make this sort of thing or indeed any of the Ealing comedies - they represent a lost age - sadly England isn't like this any more I'm glad to say that I do remember it though. luckily not too many people had to die for me to inherit my Dukedom !.................................... - @Sunday, June 20, 2010 4:09 PM
