Kind Hearts and Coronets / UK / 1949
Alec Guinness plays eight separate roles, ranging from a long-winded old priest to a tough-as-nails suffragist, and manages to completely disappear beside Joan Greenwood’s lone performance. Her Sibella is a small, angel-voiced girl—the love interest of our hero—who we initially take to be selfish and somewhat dim-witted. Come the end of the film, we know her as a conniving and wickedly smart temptress who does what she can to have her man (and, not so coincidentally, his vast fortunes). Say what you will about Mr. Guinness and his credit-clogging family album, because I’m not listening, she’s just so damn amazing.
