I Love the Ealing Studios titles, Lady Killers, Whiskey Galore, Man in the White Suit and of course this one as well!! Is this region free or R2 only?

I’ll wait for the eventual Kino 4K release.

Kind Hearts and Coronets is also being released by StudioCanal on 4K UHD April 22nd. Kino Lorber might release a 4K UHD version of The Lavender Hill Mob but they haven't released either Kind Hearts and Coronets or The Ladykillers from the StudioCanal 4K restorations yet.

The Ladykillers 4K/UHD was announced earlier this week by Kino which is why I made my earlier post.

Have the 4K box set and it looks very nice with the posters and the artcards. Did a a/b comparison to the Kino release and a big improvement with better grayscale and detail. Blacks are good too without the darker areas looking crushed. Very happy with the purchase and worth the extra money involved.

I would love nothing more than a box set of these three. Just the films and on disc special features. No tchotchkes. My dad introduced me to the Ealing films as a pre-teen and I would jump at the chance to see these with him in the best possible quality before he's no longer around.
