KIND HEARTS AND CORONETS (1949)

Louis Mazzini (Dennis Price) is sitting on death row in 19th century England waiting on his execution the following morning.  The prison ward is astounded over Mazzini's calm behavior before the execution as Mazzini begins to tell his life's account.  He was born a son of a father who died at the first sight of him and a mother who married his father who was below her social rank and was disowned by the D'Ascoyne family as a result.  Kind Hearts and Coronets is a extremely witty story with very dry dark humor combined with the mind of a serial killer that pulls at the facial muscles of the audience numerous times.
