The Ladykillers (1955) - 5 stars out of 10
Being familiar with the Tom Hanks remake of The Ladykillers, I was really anticipating this movie since originals are so often superior. Unfortunately, this film moves pretty slowly and is not nearly as funny as I had hoped. There is a lot of standing around and talking and not much else. Alec Guinness and Katie Johnson are excellent but everybody else's acting is mediocre. If you are interested in the story of The Ladykillers, definitely go for the remake instead of the original. It'll provide you with better characters and a lot more laughs. If you are interested in great acting, Katie Johnson totally delivers in this role.
