Passport To Pimlico - Digitally Restored

An archaic document found at a bomb site reveals that the London's Pimlico has for centuries technically been part of France. The local residents embrace their new found continental status, seeing it as a way to avoid the drabness, austerity and rationing of post-war England. The authorities do not, however, share their enthusiasm...

A whimsical and charming British film, Passport To Pimlico is one of the finest examples of the classic Ealing comedies.

First released: Monday 11th June 2012
