Passport to Pimlico Movie Trailer HD (1949) Plot synopsis: Residents of a part of London declare independence when they discover an old treaty. This leads to the need for a "Passport to Pimlico".
Director: Henry Cornelius
Writer: T.E.B. Clarke
Stars: Stanley Holloway, Betty Warren, Barbara Murray

Ealing Studios’ output from the 1940s and 1950s helped define what was arguably the golden age of British cinema. Written by Ealing regular T.E.B. Clarke, PASSPORT TO PIMLICO was nominated for a BAFTA in the Best British Film category.

When an unexploded World War II bomb detonates in Pimlico, it reveals a buried cellar full of treasures. Among the rubble is an ancient document proving that the area is in fact part of Burgundy, France and, therefore, a foreign territory. In an attempt to regain control, the British Government set up borders and cut off all services to the area, but the “Burgundians” are determined to fight back!
