The Wrong Box
25 July 2019
2 aged brothers (Richardson and Mills) are the last 2 survivors of an old school tontine and the last one to survive will inherit a fortune. Their siblings - scheming Cook and Moore on one side and innocent Caine on the other all come together in a very British black comedy.

Really lovely witty and gentle paced comedy, with Caine hilarious in his attempts to woo Newman and Peter Cook (who never could act) fun as the nasty scheming Morris.

Best bits though are from Lawson as the decrepit butler, Richardson, boring everyone rigid with his knowledge of trivia and Peter Graves in a small role as the commanding Baron.
