50S Or 60S Film, Possible Ealing Comedy......

Anyone remember this, It's about a wealthy father that dies with several children but to receive their legacy they must each do something out of character for them. The one I remember is the straight laced son who must get himself jailed for at least 28 days, so he spends a lot of the film trying to get arrested but something always happens so he gets away with it when he doesn't want to. A bit vague I know, any ideas?

I remember that, very funny. The set-up is rather like the various versions of Brewster's Millions in which a legatee has to spend millions, without telling anyone why, in order to inherit more millions.
