Synopsis:

A stellar cast assembles for this sparkling comedy feature from 1970. Revisiting Mario Zampi's 1951 classic Laughter in Paradise and directed by veteran producer Duncan Wood - best known for his work with Tony Hancock during the late '50s and early '60s - Some Will, Some Won't is presented here in a brand-new transfer from the original film elements in its as-exhibited theatrical aspect ratio. In his will, arch-prankster Henry Russell charges his four beneficiaries to justify their legacies of £150,000 each; the conditions he sets are calculated to make them step completely out of character, and prove themselves as human beings. When the four report back to the executor, they have all changed for the better. But Henry still has a surprise in store for them...

Some Will, Some Won't is a 1970 British comedy film directed by Duncan Wood. It was a remake of Laughter in Paradise. It starred an ensemble British cast, including Michael Hordern, Ronnie Corbett, Dennis Price, Leslie Phillips and Arthur Lowe. It featured a cameo performance from Steptoe and Son actor Wilfrid Brambell who played Henry Russell, who has left four family members £150,000 in his will, on the condition they do the bizarre tasks he has set out for them.

Four people go to great lengths to obtain the fortune left in a will by a very wealthy practical joker.
