Ealing Mob Colourful Remakes Monsieur - Ne Pas Problem
The classic Ealing comedies British cinema's heyday, like Kind Hearts and Coronets and The Lavender Hill Mob could soon be remade for a modern audience, by the French. 60 years after Sir Alec Guinness became a huge star with those films, StudioCanal, France's biggest distributor company, is wanting to revive them as universal stories. This comes hard on the news that a new Carry On comedy is going into UK production aimed at a newer, younger audience.
