Passport to Pimlico

When an unexploded WWII bomb is accidentally detonated in Pimlico, Arthur Pemberton and his daughter Shirley investigate the crater made by the explosion. There, they discover a treasure trove, including documents proving that the region is in fact part of Burgundy, France. 

The residents are quick to take the opportunity to escape from post-World War II austerity, tear up their ration books and break from English rule. The British Government, however, hatch a plan to regain control. 

A whimsical tale of plucky underdogs going up against the British establishment, Passport to Pimlico is a typically charming comedy from Ealing Studios’ golden age.
