     The Alec Guiness movie in which he plays the leader of a
gang of bank robbers living as roomers in an old lady's house, is
not 'The Lavender Hill Mob'.  The movie is 'The Ladykillers'.
The gang of bank robbers numbered five.  One of the bank robbers was
Alec Guiness (of course) and another was played by a very young
Peter Sellers.  I believe this was his first movie.  The gang
posed as musicians, each one carrying a stringed instrument case.
Whenever they would plan their strategies in the old lady's house,
they would play a record of Boccherini's string quintet to fool the
old lady.  By the end of the movie, you can whistle the whole darn
first movement!
