B & W Film

[Valmave]

I have enjoyed the old black and white films shown over Christmas. Which such film includes a man pulling out a tooth filling so that he can get time off work to plan some sort of crime ?

Was it The Lavender Hill Mob?

[Valmave]

I thought it was The Lavender Hill Mob, but the scene I am thinking of was not broadcast the other evening.

[BlackadderV]

So long ago now that I can't remember all the plots. Was it an Ealing comedy?
The ladykillers, perhaps?

[BlackadderV]

Ignore the above. I believe the Ladykillers was in colour.
