passport to pimlico (1949)


"Blimey, I'm a foreigner."
Pimlico like the rest of Britain is suffering from the austerity of the post-war period. A way out is found with the discovery of a parchment that proves Pimlico is in fact part of Burgundy, France. The inhabitants thus become an independent state, the statutes of Britain now null and void, ending rationing amongst other disliked laws, but beware what you wish for...
A beautifully crafted comedy, poking fun at British institutions and its people with its gentle satire.
