  • "Louis Mazzini wants to avenge his mother's death by seizing the dukedom to the d'Ascoyne family. To do this, he must kill the line of eccentric relatives who stand between him and the throne. Sir Alec Guiness performs as eight different characters."
  • "Alec Guinness plays all eight relatives that the would be duke (Dennis Price) hopes to eliminate. Can he get away with murder?"
  • "Eight relatives stand in the way of a not-very-noble cad and the dukedom he craves. The young noble goes about polishing off each member of the family in one exotic way or another - for, certainly, a balding general should not die in the same manner as a militant suffragette! A black comedy about the dainty art of murder."

  • "Louis souhaite retrouver le titre qui lui est dû afin de venger sa mère, une ancienne aristocrate reniée par la noblesse anglaise. Le problème, c'est qu'il n'est pas l'héritier direct : il n'est au contraire que la neuvième personne pouvant prétendre à la succession. Une seule solution : se débarasser des huit autres successeurs..."Noblesse oblige" permit à Alec Guinness d'effectuer une performance rarement égalée par un acteur : incarner dans le même film huit personnages différents (les huit héritiers D'Ascoyne) en un seul film. Il joue tour à tour le duc, le banquier, le pasteur, le général, l'amiral, le cadet, le jeune Henry et Lady Agatha, un personnage féminin. D'ailleurs c'est la performance d'Alec Guinness qui permit au film de remporter l'unique distinction allouée au film avec le National Board of Review Award du Meilleur acteur en 1950.

Murdering every potential successor - all famously played by Alec Guinness - is clearly the safest way to achieve his goal."@en
