The League of Gentlemen (1960, b/w)

LONDON LIVE 2.35PM ★★★

 Not to be confused with The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen

(a comic-book adventure starring Sean Connery), this is a well-crafted heist movie of film’s golden age. After being drummed out of the Army despite years of loyal service, Jack Hawkins’s Colonel Hyde signs up seven other disgruntled and cashstrapped ex-officers to plan an audacious get-rich-quick bank robbery.
