The Lavender Hill Mob1951

The Lavender Hill Mob is a 1951 film about a meek bank clerk who oversees the shipment of bullion who joins with an eccentric neighbor to steal gold bars and smuggle them out of the country as miniature Eiffel Towers. more »



Henry Holland:
[about his promotion out of the bullion office] I'm too old to change my views now, sir.

Turner:
Nonsense. You're never too old to better oneself. Think of what you can do with an extra 15 shillings a week.

Henry Holland:
But sir, I like the bullion office. It holds all I ever wished for.

Turner:
The trouble with you, Holland, if I may speak frankly, is that you do not have enough ambition. When a good opportunity comes along grab it with both hands. May not occur again.

Henry Holland:
Very good, sir. I'll follow your advice.
