The Wrong Box (1966)

Bit of an emergency blip today :-)

1960's crime comedy caper with untimely ends for the majority of this great cast....
A tontine is established for a dozen children, a tontine being a kind of bet/insurance, money is put in for each to grow with interest and the last survivor is to get the lot. We watch the group dwindle until only two brothers are left.
I love the word tontine...its like elbow, in the way it flows off the tongue, - Laura you are amazing :-)
