The Ladykillers (1955) - Alec Guinness - Filming Locations

A charming British "black comedy" film starring Alec Guinness, Herbert Lom, Peter Sellers and Katie Johnson as Mrs. Wilberforce. The plot involves a gang of criminals (led by Alec Guinness) robbing a bank's armored car and using kindly little old lady Mrs. Wilberforce to (unwittingly) transport the stolen money back to her house, where the gang has rented a spare bedroom (they have told Mrs. W. that they are a string quartet needing a rehearsal room). There's a lot more to the plot, but you'll have to watch this great movie to see!

In this quick preview then and now filming location video, we visit several of the movie locations around London. Not surprisingly (it's London after all), many of these locations are easily recognizable today.
