How To Make A Killing
After being disowned at birth by his ultra wealthy family, Becket Redfellow (Glen
Powell) was left with no choice but to live a blue collar life. Now, he
sees an opportunity to change his social standing by killing all the relatives
standing in the way of the inheritance he is determined to reclaim. Loosely
based on Robert Hamer's celebrated Ealing comedy Kind
Hearts and Coronets which itself is loosely based on the
novel Israel Rank: The Autobiography of a
Criminal by Roy Horniman. The novel and Ealing comedy are also
the basis for the Tony award winning musical A Gentleman's
Guide to Love & Murder.
