Hitchcock's Rich and Strange has a decent premise: some sudden and unexpected wealth comedically makes a bored married couple lose their sense of right and wrong. It's a classic corruption-of-money fable that's only real issue is in the tone. Most of the time, it's a fairly straightforward screwball rom-com...except when it unceremoniously dips into extreme and unwanted drama. Still, when it's foot is firmly in the bumbling idiocy of the couple, it's a good time...and the shipwreck is surprising and cool.
