Five criminals who have never met each other rent an upstairs room from Mrs. Wilberforce, planning an armored car heist but posing to their very proper landlady as a string quartet. However she may be smarter than they anticipated. One of the best Ealing comedies. Received an Oscar nomination for Best Original Screenplay. Remade by the Coen Brothers as The Ladykillers (2004).
