One of Ealing’s most beloved comedies, The Lavender Hill Mob is the enduringly funny story of a nobody bank employee’s ingenious plan to rob the Bank of England of gold bullion and smuggle it to France in the form of Eiffel Tower paperweights. With the help of the motley crew that he assembles to carry out the raid, much bungling and hilarity ensues as their plan threatens to come unstuck thanks to French bureaucracy and some pesky English school girls.
