Storyline

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.

RTThe Times (UK)Nov 28, 2023

One of the most endearingly quirky of all the Ealing comedies, Passport to Pimlico combines gentle eccentricity with a politely subversive spirit.

RTThe Age (Australia)Oct 30, 2020

A near-perfect expression of the lightly anarchistic ethos associated with Britain's Ealing studio, with a host of great character actors and a script by... TEB Clarke that stands as a model of how to develop an absurd situation step by step.

A worthy restoration and a reminder of a (short) period when Britain were world leaders of thoughtful film comedy.

The comedy unwinds at a frenetic pace.
