Passport to Pimlico
French Goings-On in the Heart of London.
Directed by Henry Cornelius
Produced by Ealing Studios
A witty, warmhearted post-war satire that uses an absurd premise to celebrate community spirit and gently mock bureaucratic overreach.
When an unexploded WWII bomb is accidentally detonated in Pimlico, it reveals a treasure trove and documents proving that the region is in fact part of Burgundy, France and thus foreign territory. The British government attempts to regain control by setting up border controls and cutting off services to the area.
