Passport to Pimlico (1949)

Member Rating:

Passport to Pimlico is one of the most charmingly whimsical Ealing Studios comedies of the late 1940s-early 1950s. As a result of wartime bombing, an ancient parchment is uncovered, proving that the Pimlico section of London belongs to Burgundy, France. Long taken for granted by other Londoners, the tiny Pimlico populace decides to take advantage of its "foreign" status. Affable oaf Stanley Holloway is made head of the new government, whereupon he merrily begins erecting borders and imposing customs duties. The sweetly satirical script of Passport to Pimlico was written by director Henry Cornelius and Ealing stalwart T.E.B. Clarke. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

"Passport to Pimlico" must have brought some badly needed smiles to post-war England, including those picking up their lives after the bombing raids. This fanciful comedy shows what happens when residents of Pimlico discover medieval objects that had been buried for centuries. If you're a Margaret Rutherford fan, she's here in all her blustering glory!
