Used to the hardships of London's East End and sheltering from the bombs in Underground stations every night, the luxuries of Little Pipham Hall seem like another world. Soon, the grand house is in uproar and the appearance of a couple of jewel thieves intent on stealing Lady Plumtree's diamonds sets the scene for a grand farce.
Your Money or Your Wife (1960)
A young couple find out they are to inherit a fortune and they immediately go on a spending spree. However, it isn't until after they have spent a considerable sum that they discover the inheritance is to be paid in weekly instalments rather than as a lump sum!

Unfortunately this is not as simple as it seems, as some of the lodgers turn out to be somewhat eccentric!
