OUR STORY SUMMARY: Lavender Hill Man (2006): An odonata classic that benefits from unimaginable hiking (by P. Johnson, who won a blister for his efforts), airy direction (it is "sort of that-a-way"), and, most of all, the delightful eccentric performance by Argia hinei.
In fall 2005, he had discovered Lavender Dancers at a site on the San Benito River in San Benito County (which, it is worth noting, was a part of Monterey County until 1874, just a short 132 years ago), and faced with a skeptical scientific community, collected that little beast as proof.
The discoveries by the Lavender Hill Man push the range a fair bit northward, and along the slopes of the eastern portions of the Diablo Range.

 Movie Reviews by Edwin Jahiel   (Site not responding. Last check: )
"Lavender" is a delight of witty structure and briskly economical pacing.
With "The Lavender Hill Mob" the comic, idiosyncratic Guinness persona itself was launched, in all its variations of quiet diffidence, cunning, stubbornness and that famous half-smile that seems to say "I know something you don't know."
"Lavender" is the kind of movie where you root for the thieves, but in its period films lacked the gumption to come out with the conclusion that often "crime does pay."

 The Lavender Hill Mob
By the time The Lavender Hill Mob was released in 1951, the pressure of the post-war years had begun to ease slightly.
The Lavender Hill Mob was one in the last of the famous cycle of comedies to retain its contemporaneity, before Ealing itself became part of a quaintly nostalgic and retrospective British cinema which revelled in the glories of past achievements rather than dealing with current society.
Unlike many more traditionally 'comedian-centred' comedies however, it is canny enough to suggest that rebellion must always come from within, and that it is the presumption of the system itself which produces the desire for escape and disobedience.

Lavender Hill Mob, The is a Universal International Pictures release directed by Charles Crichton and was released on October 15, 1951.
Guinness is in peak form here, and director Charles Crichton (who scored a late-career hit with A Fish Called Wanda over a quarter-century later) keeps the action moving with impeccable British efficiency.
Along with The Ladykillers and The Man in the White Suit (both starring Guinness), The Lavender Hill Mob represents the golden age of British comedy, and it's still delightfully entertaining.
