Discussing the questions and information:

1. I don't watch old films often, but I have some favorites like Casablanca and Gone with the Wind. I appre-
ciate the storytelling and the charm of classic cinema.
2. Yes, I've heard of The Ladykillers. It's a classic British comedy from 1955 about an old lady who unknow-
ingly harbors criminals planning a robbery. The film was remade in 2004 with Tom Hanks.

Regarding the information:

1. The Ladykillers is about an old lady, Mrs Wilberforce, who takes in a lodger, not knowing he and his four
friends have committed a robbery. When she discovers their secret, they plan to kill her.
2. The ideas for question 2 were correct. Mrs Wilberforce is an unsuspecting landlady, and the lodger and his
friends are criminals planning a robbery.

Questions based on the video:

1. The five men are pretending to be musicians, but they are actually criminals planning a heist.
2. Mrs Wilberforce wishes she had a more exciting life and regrets not experiencing more adventure.
3. As the men are leaving, one of them accidentally falls on the staircase.
4. They go back to the house because they realize Mrs Wilberforce heard the thud and might discover their
true intentions.

Discussion questions:

1. Discussing what happens next in the film is subjective and depends on personal interpretations.
2. Opinions on liking the film extract and finding it funny may vary. Some might enjoy the humor and plot
twists, while others may have different tastes.
3. Whether one would like to watch the rest of the film depends on individual preferences, such as interest in
the storyline, humor, or the cast.
