    Storyline

    • Trivia
      The outdoor scenes were shot in Lambeth, a mile away from Pimlico. A set was built on a large World War II bombsite just south of Lambeth at the junction of Hercules Road. This site is now the location for municipal flats built in the 1960s. However, the buildings on the junction of Hercules Road and Lambeth Road can still be recognized from this movie, as can the railway bridge going over Lambeth Road, particularly from the scenes where food is thrown over the blockade.

      Frederick Albert 'Fred' Cowan: You can't push English people around like sacks of potatoes.

      Jim Garland: English?

      Connie Pemberton: Don't you come that stuff, Jim Garland! We always were English, and we'll always be Englsh, and it's just because we are English that we're sticking up for our rights to be Burgundians!

    perfect political satire
    Very funny, well-crafted, well-acted, meticulous attention to detail. A real window into a specific time and place in history. Could almost believe this was a true story in a parallel universe. Interesting how Passport to Pimlico anticipates the Berlin airlift. A definite 10.
