"The Wrong Box" (British 1966)

Nutty comedy about a tontine. A very young
Michael Caine holds his own against Wilfred
Lawson, John Mills and Ralph Richardson.
A treat.

I've always loved _The Wrong Box_. I saw it first run in 1966 and nearly
did myself an injury. Since then, the hilarity has somewhat toned down
for me to a quieter appreciation of the many talents involved.

Wilfred Lawson plays Peacock, the frail but faithful butler, to a rare
perfection.

You did fail, however, to mention either Dudley Moore and Peter Cook,
one of the great comic film teams of all times, or Peter Sellers, who
does a memorable cameo as Doctor Pratt.
