That’s easy. Pearls of the Crown with Sacha Guitry.
Sorry, much as I love that film, it's not the one.

Hint: The four people are dressed as Yeoman Warders (better known as Beefeaters) but are not Beefeaters. (This is the final scene of the movie.)

Hint: This movie was based on a play, which was also the source of a musical adaptation by Kander and Ebb. Not one of their biggest hits, but a fun show nevertheless.

Correct, Skimpole. Based on the play Breath of Spring, as was the musical 70, Girls, 70.

Dang! I've been watching tv and only checking in to the site every so often. Wish I had paid attention to this thread. Don't know if Skimpole has ever seen Mink Mine Mink, I think Swithin and I are the only ones familiar with this hilarious film. We've talked about how fond we both are of Make Mine Mink in the past. Wish TCM would show it, it's been forever since it was on TCM.

Skimpole's thread.

That is a movie where the protagonists are killed by a chandelier, but it's not the one I'm thinking of.

The protagonists in this one, have similar, but not identical, names. They're not married. People are rushed off to departing trains.

The protagonists are two young flirtatious women, and the movie is a satire/comedy.

OK, let's speed this up a bit more. The movie is on Sight and Sound's 2022 top 100 movies of all time poll.

The movie is from Czechoslovakia, so that should narrow it down considerably.

How many more clues do you need? The movie was directed by a woman.
