The Ladykillers 4K | Kino Lorber
In this gangster comedy to end all gangster comedies, the inimitable Alec Guinness (Kind Hearts and Coronets, The Lavender Hill Mob) is Professor Marcus, ostensibly a musician and academic, who rents a London flat from a sweet old lady (BAFTA-winning Katie Johnson). He tells her that, from time to time, several other musicians will visit in order to rehearse. In truth, the professor can’t play a note, nor can his visitors: he’s a criminal mastermind, holding court over his gang of thieves, including the likes of punkish Harry (the first major film role for Peter Sellers, The Pink Panther), the homicidal Louis (Herbert Lom, A Shot in the Dark), veteran criminal Claude (Cecil Parker, The Man in the White Suit) and punch-drunk One-Round (Danny Green, The 7th Voyage of Sinbad).

Glendalough Wild Rose Irish Gin (SRP: $34.99)
This fresh, rose-petal gin was first made to honor our head distiller’s mom, Rose at his little brother’s wedding. Rose had recently passed away, and this was his way to have her there in spirit — literally. Carefully-tended flowers from her rose garden are slowly vapor distilled with wild roses and plants from the Wicklow mountains around the distillery to make this an intensely floral gin. Two varieties of roses are used: the rare and elusive Wild Rose from the Wicklow mountains and the large, fragrant Heritage Rose. After distilling, the gin is then further infused with even more roses to deepen the flavors and give it its lovely pink hue. We love it in a dry martini or a G&T garnished with a wedge of lime and fresh mint.

It’s the hysterical high-throttle world of 1954 in this outrageous musical comedy from the marvelously maniacal mind of John Waters (Pink Flamingos, Hairspray). Buy From Kino Lorber
