"I've often had a burning desire to nod, but my grandfather does not approve
of such things."A tontine is eventually whittled down until only two elderly brothers are left. One (John Mills) lives with his dopey grandson (Michael Caine), whilst the other (Ralph Richardson) with his devious nephews (Peter Cook & Dudley Moore), and whim-some niece (Nanette Newman). Who can keep their cash-cow alive the longest, or at least make the others believe he is still alive.
The great and the good of British actors and comedians, including Peter Sellears and Tony Hancock, all take a turn in this fine comedy.
