The Wrong Box concerns two brothers (John Mills and Ralph Richardson) who are the last surviving members of a tontine, an investment scheme set up many years before in which the last surviving member stands to receive a fortune. This sets up the premise with Mills' character trying to kill Richardson's, by various fantastical means. Michael Caine plays Mills' grandson, a dim-witted medical student, and Peter Cook and Dudley Moore play Richardson's two greedy nephews.

This is a wonderful comedy that should have been released on DVD sooner.
Although his appearance is fairly brief Peter Sellers as a solicitor (with an office full of cats and kittens to the point where he uses a kitten as a blotter to dry some ink) is hilarious.
The interplay between all concerned is brilliantly done and it has one of the funniest chase sequences since A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum.
Guaranteed to have you laughing The Wrong Box is a must for anyone with a funny bone they need tickling.
