WHERE THERE'S A WILL is a typical British comedy of 1955, hugely dated these days but worth a look just to see the cast in action. The film was shot by Vernon Sewell, one of the country's most prolific workers, and concerns an extended family coming into possession of a rambling and valuable farmhouse. All kinds of legal shenanigans, involving competing factions, ensue. The great Leslie Dwyer shines as the unscrupulous protagonist here, with Kathleen Harrison playing her usual role. Edward Woodward is impossibly youthful in his debut performance and George Cole is reliable as ever. Watch out for character actors in roles of various size, including Dandy Nichols, Michael Shepley, and the great Sam Kydd.
