A wonderful film with great characters and a story which mirrors Wizard of Oz quite closely. A mysterious wealthy relative dies and in his will sets out an elaborate test of his family members. Each relative, in order to receive their share of the prize, has to take themselves truly out of their comfort zone and conquer their unwarranted fears. The journey through this adventure is always entertaining, especially with Alastair Sim and George Cole's acted awkwardness with their imposed situation. A not so old Frazer of Dad's Army also makes a great impression. In the end, much is learned by the relatives but the 'prize' alas is illusory.
