I laughed like a banshee when this flick was first released to theaters. I have a weakness for dry British almost-farces like Kind Hearts and Coronets and The Ladykillers. "The Wrong Box" is very much in their vein, a star-studded cast bringing to life a company of ne'er-do-wells and innocent eccentrics, all of them slightly mad, popping out of every corner. When I went to look for it on several streaming services, I learned to my astonishment none of them had it on offer. Fearing it might fall out of the memory of man, I snapped up a copy on DVID, and found it was as good as I remembered.It centers around a tontine - a compact in which the members all put up a considerable sum of money, to be awarded to whomever of them outlives all the others. (It's my understanding that tontines are illegal in Britain nowadays, for obvious reasons.) We follow the adventures of the two last men standing and, in cameo, the resurrection men who stand at the ready to take charge of the next to last man standing when the time comes.You can't beat the stellar cast, including Michael Caine, Peter Sellers, Dudley Moore and Ralph Richardson. Personally, I'm of the opinion that Michael Caine has never been in a bad movie, because no matter how terrible the script he'll make a good movie out of it. As the male ingenue who is the calm center of this movie's whirlwind, Cain doesn't have to labor under any such burden. I was particularly taken with Richardson 's turn as a garrulous gentleman of means who manages to be both endearing and intolerable.
