Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 5/5 --
He only has two scenes, but those two scenes, for my money, are the finest things [Peter] Sellers ever did.

Rating: 3/4 --
Some sections and bits are funnier than others. Some are labored and dull. It is that sort of story, that sort of comedy. But it adds up to a lively lark.

An inspired English farce; Ralph Richardson is irresistible.

Rating: 4/5 --
Hilarious black comedy.
Movie Metropolis
Some of the gags crumble on impact, others are stretched out like taffy, but there is enough fun left over to leave most moviegoers happily wallowing in greed, sex, homicide, body snatching and other nefarious diversions.

4 stars out of 5 -- [A] delicious black comedy....The reason to see it is the array of grotesque comic cameos....Hugely underrated.

Description by OLDIES.com:
Set in Victorian England, The Wrong Box is a British black comedy with a splendid cast including John Mills, Ralph Richardson, Michael Caine, Peter Cook, Dudley Moore and last, but definitely not least, Peter Sellers. A strange rule of inheritance allows only the last remaining survivor of a family of siblings to get the sizable legacy, precipitating a dangerous contest between two elderly brothers (Mills and Richardson). Their families get involved too, sparking a wild chase and absurd comedy as they attempt to be the last man standing. Directed by Bryan Forbes (The L-Shaped Room, Seance on a Wet Afternoon). Newly remastered.
Product Description:
This fine black comedy features an all-star cast. Two brothers attempt to do each other in with extremely elaborate methods so they can become the sole heir to a large estate.
