This image is from the 1949 movie Kind Hearts And Coronets. And okay, it technically isn't a mystery because we know from the start who has committed all of the murders. It's more of a black comedy in which Alec Guinness stars as Louis D'Ascoyne Mazzini, ninth in line of succession to the dukedom of Chalfont, who sets about to murder the eight relatives who stand between him and the title. Amazingly- and amusingly- Guinness plays nine different characters in the film: various members of the D'Ascoyne family. In the pictured scene, Lady Agatha D'Ascoyne- who is a suffragette- takes to the sky in a hot air balloon in order to drop 'votes for women' leaflets on the city of London. Louis eliminates Lady Agatha by causing the balloon to crash.
