The Duality of Alexander Mackendrick

Alexander Mackendrick is one of the most distinguished (if frequently overlooked) directors ever to emerge from the British film industry. He was one of the finest and least typical directors at Ealing Studios. Perhaps best known for the four comedies, Whiskey Galore! (1949) and The Ladykillers (1955), satire, with The Man in the White Suit (1951), romance, with Saraband for Dead Lovers (1948). He made there, he nonetheless created films of a rare blackness, marked by a pessimistic – albeit witty – vision of human cruelty, corruptibility, and self-obsession.
