The Wrong Box
Directed by Bryan Forbes
Produced by Salamander Film Productions
A darkly comedic Victorian romp built on scheming, mistaken identities, and the absurd lengths people will go for inheritance.
In Victorian England, a fortune now depends on which of two brothers outlives the other—or can be made to have seemed to do so.
