I've just been re-watching this film, and wondered if anyone there agrees that it is one of the funniest films ever made.

We are dealing, as usual, with subjective opinion here. If Atheist things it is one of the funniest films ever made, then in his opinion, that is what it is - to him, but not to myself, or others.

Ah, the Wrong Box.
The fragrant Nanette Newman: "They say the telegraphic service has much to commend it."
Michael Caine (for it is he): "Yes, I've heard them say that too."
Mr Caine: "My grandfather is dying."
(Deep sigh from Miss Newman)
Mr Caine: "No, it's nothing serious, he's been doing it for years."

"The Wrong Box" - now you're talking funny. Actually my favourite film with the best character being Joseph Finsbury (played by Ralph Richardson) who had spent a lifetime "collecting facts". My favourite scene is the train crash where, among the carnage and debris from a violent, high speed head-on collision, driver John Junkin suggests to his fireman "I tell you what, we haven't heard the last of this!"
