Passport to Pimlico starring Stanley Holloway. Hermione Baddeley
Margaret Rutherford , Paul Dupuis As Pimlico swelters in a heat-wave, a deafening explosion hurls the residents into a bewildering sequence of events. London's last bomb has not only blown a hole in their designated recreation ground but uncovered a vast treasure and a decree that Pimlico should be part of France. Ration books are torn up and licensing laws abandoned: but life is not all beer and boules in downtown Burgundy.
