No, no,

'tis I that should thank you for the recommendations!
I spent several years of my youth in Ireland and though we lived in better circumstances than what you seemed to, my second-story room in the bungalow (our landlord was Daniel O'Herlihy!) was absolutely freezing! If not for two hot water bottles every night, I would have frozen solid.
I saw "The Man in the White Suit" immediately before KH&C and found it very well done, very subtle humor in parts though the satire was a bit heavy-handed, all in all. Still, a damn fine film and I really enjoyed Joan Greenwood's performance; she also was superb in a very difficult role in KH&C as the "bad love."
I'll definitely get Lavender Hill and Ladykillers very soon.
I had hoped to visit British film immediately after my Russian "period" but got horribly entangled in noir. I'm afraid I've got about thirty of them to go. After giving in to White Suit, however, I couldn't resist KH&C, especially since the local library has a copy.
I know when I get around to Brit film I'm going to be seeing a lot of Dirk Bogarde, Terry-Thomas, Sellars, James Mason, and several others of that period.
"Withnail and I" is one of my favorite films of which I never tire watching. To me, it is the most perfect depiction of what 60s alternative lifestyle was.
