WHERE THERE'S A WILL opens with a man walking along a road, then poking the ground and blowing a mine. He dies apparently intestate and that starts a rollercoast of inheritance-related developments.
Leslie Dwyer plays Alfie Brewer, a London-based Turkish bath assistant who is more in line to inherit than any other family member, and is actually enthusiastic about farm work.
In contrast, his nephew George Cole is a scheming fraudster, and niece Thelma Ruby opens a near-Romeo and Juliet situation when she falls in reciprocated love with the son of an unfriendly neighbor who has bought the property's mortgage.
Best of all, Norman MacOwan pointing out how much better life was when he did not work and could just live off the environment, whereas earning a salary, paying taxes, health care, and all manner of rates depleted him of time and all the things that he used to enjoy in life.
Competent cinematography, strong screenplay with British humor at its best - recommended viewing.
