Stange as it may seem, you'll see echoes of both this and the book it was based on in the TV serial "Lost". At least I did.

I understand this is out on DVD-I need to get it along with my other 60's films. "The Wrong Box" is hands down one of the three best comedies of the 1960's-the other two are "Bedazzled" (which just happen to have "Box" co-stars Peter Cook and Dudley Moore) and "The President's Analyst." Very shocked as to why Nanette Newman didn't get an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actress. This movie is a reason why 1966 was the defining year for film in the 60's ("Alfie", "Blow Up", "Seconds", etc.).

@HogwartsCastle All at one school - their parents each put up a share of the money. It's a Tontine ("named after Lorenzo Tonti, a Neapolitan banker", as Ralph Richardson's charactger points out several times :o))

Nanette Newman in her prime was the most beautiful woman ever !!!
Thanks for this, i haven't seen it in nearly 30 years, and finally it is available on disc in the UK- I ordered my copy today. Everything about this movie was perfect: the cast, the script, John Barry's charming score- just everything!
