Kind Hearts and Coronets[edit]

How many roles? While the BFI article cited lists 9 roles, IMDb lists only 8. And in my most recent viewing of the film (the Studio Canal Blu-ray), I could count only 8, this reinforced by the cover art of a tree with the 8 silhouettes of those Louis needs to eliminate to become Duke. So why is BFI wrong? Anf if this error is corrected, who do we cite as the source? Signinstranger (talk) 11:57, 22 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

8 plus 1 generally is counted as 9?— ⦿⨦⨀Tumadoireacht ^Talk/_Stalk 08:40, 22 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Louis is played by Dennis Price, so you can't include his role. -- Jack of Oz ^{[pleasantries]} 09:46, 22 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Our article lists the 9 roles Guinness played. -- Jack of Oz ^{[pleasantries]} 09:49, 22 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

My guess is that "The seventh duke, Ethelred's father, in brief flashback sequences" is the tricky one to catch while watching the film. Also that one is not portrayed on any of the various posters/DVD covers that I can find. MarnetteD|Talk 17:26, 22 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Tunes of Glory[edit]

Ah, this Talkpage causes some sadness and regret. But enough of that maudlin nonsense. Have just watched Tunes of Glory. What a movie! Highly recommended. KJP1 (talk) 22:29, 8 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The article has date of birth as 1914. Where are you seeing 1936? Schazjmd (talk) 00:51, 12 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Short description[edit]

"Alec Guinness was an English actor": such is the correct short description Billsmith60 (talk) 13:07, 20 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

He is a popular actor![edit]
