I didn’t realise that passport to pimlico, whiskey galore and kind hearts and coronets all came out within months of each other in 1949. I want to see the other three films that came out that year and see if they are any good. Train of events looks like it might be interesting.

Had a rewatch of Kind Hearts, new disc via KL. If anything, the multi-performances of Guinness (duly amazing) have overshadowed the other sterling elements: the script, Dennis Price and Joan Greenwood, etc.

I watched the very beginning last night since it was leaving Criterion then couldn’t stay awake to watch it properly, but agree with you two.
