The Wrong Box (DVD, 2010)

Classic British farce with a terrific comedy cast.

This 1966 film is a terrific period farce with an amazing cast of British comedians and character actors. An engaging script will keep you attentive as you try to follow the ever more complex turn of events as two rival family groups plot to prevent the other from winning pot of money by out living the other, with everything climaxing with a crazy chase involving 3 horse drawn funerals.

Very disappointing, with such a cast of big 60's Stars I expected much better.

With such a stunning array of 60's icons I expected a really good film. What a huge disappointment it turned out to be. Almost to the point of being stupid. After 20mins I thought about turning it off, but, I thought perhaps it would liven up. That didn't happen, boring, not funny and tedious. But, hey ho, some you loose some you gain.Read full review

The title is that of the book on which it is based, just as Robert Louis Stephenson would have wished!

lI wanted this film for nostalgic reasons - it took me back to going to the cinema with my best friend when we were teens. She died in 2020 after 60 years of our friendship and watching this film again brought back happier times.
The DVD was good quality and well worth the money.
Thank you.Read full review

Entertaining with great characters.

It is a good quality colour DVD. I bought mainly for Peter Cook and Dudley Moore who have fairly leading roles and was not disappointed. It's a good amusing story with many famous stars, many who are sadly no longer with us. I'm sure you will enjoy.Read full review
