Passport to Pimlico
1949
When residents of a London street discover an ancient treaty proving their neighbourhood technically belongs to Burgundy rather than Britain, they enthusiastically declare independence and defy postwar rationing. This beloved Ealing comedy is a gentle satire on British insularity and bureaucracy.
