PASSPORT TO PIMLICO (1949) - ♦♦♦♦

Directed by - Henry Cornelius

Written by - T.E.B. Clarke

Starring - Sterling Holloway, Hermione Baddeley, Margaret Rutherford, Paul Dupuis

"During World War Two, a tiny overlooked section of London called Pimlico sets up their own country after they find a hidden treasure and a professor deems it their rightful possession and Pimlico part of Burdgundy in France.  Though the concept is fresh and original, the humour is undoubtedly slightly outdated. Nevertheless, the overall appeal of the film and its structure make this one of the most solid representation of the particular brand of working class satirical comedy produced by Ealing Studios."
