A Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder is a musical comedy with the book and lyrics by Robert L. Freedman and the music and lyrics by Steven Lutvak. It is based on the 1907 novel Israel Rank: the Autobiography of a Criminal by Roy Horniman. The play opened on Broadway at the Walter Kerr Theatre in 2013.The novel was also the source for the 1949 British film Kind Hearts and Coronets; however apparently for legal reasons that title was not permitted to be used.[citation needed]
