In the 1951 movie "The Lavender Hill Mob" four men, led by Alec Guinness as Henry "Dutch" Holland, plan and carry out the robbery of a load of gold bullion worth several million pounds. Director Charles Crichton has created one of the best British films as ranked by the British Film Institute.

This heist movie is brought to life by the marvelous acting of Alex Guinness and Stanley Holloway as Alfred "Al" Pendlebury. Contributing to the action are Sid James as Lackery Wood, Marjorie Fielding as Mrs. Chalk, Shorty Fisher played by Alflie Bass, Edie Martin as Miss Evesham and an armored car load of other excellent actors. Henry Holland is not an unambitious bank clerk, but the mastermind behind the robbery of millions. Have a good time as we visit about the mob.
