Author: Jack Hawkins(Actor), Richard Attenborough (Actor), Basil Dearden (Director) 

Details:

A rogues gallery of the cream of British acting star in Basil Dearden's much-loved crime caper The League of Gentlemen. Jack Hawkins gives a memorable performance as an embittered former army officer, alongside Roger Livesey, Nigel Patrick, Richard Attenborough and Bryan Forbes who also wrote the BAFTA-nominated screenplay. The film is presented here as a brand-new restoration from original film elements in its original theatrical aspect ratio.

After being 'retired' from the army, an ex-Colonel nurtures a bitter resentment at his country's ingratitude. Luckily for him he's not the only one and he assembles a small group of bankrupt or embittered ex-army officers in a bid to stage an ingenious bank robbery.
