what a carve up! (1961)

AKA No Place Like Homicide!
"He's dead!"
Ernie (Kenneth Connor) is summoned to the wilds of Yorkshire as an uncle he never knew has just died. There he finds out that he and his eccentric relatives have to spend the night in the spooky ancestral home in order to claim the inheritance. Soon things start to go wrong and one by one the guests begin to drop dead.
A mediocre film, that throws some mildly diverting comedy into the mix with Sid James, Shirley Eaton and Esma Cannon amongst other stalwarts of the Carry On films popping up alongside the more obviously spooky Donald Pleasence and Michael Gough.
