Title: Hilarious British Dark Comedy
Product review: This film is a deliciously hilarious account of a descendant to a titled family who devises a murdereous scheme to gain his rightful, in his mind, place in the family. This film may have more resonance if you were British and those things mean anything to you. Star Dennis Price is hilariously deadpan as he relates in voice-over his efforts to obtain said goal. Alec Guiness, assaying seven roles, is effective in playing the intended victims of Price. Guiness imbues each of these characters (including a female suffragette) with an identity separate from the others that it is quite possible that you don't know it's the same actor in all these roles. This is not just a great British comedy, it's great comedy,period.
