Plot: Passport to Pimlico is one of the most charmingly whimsical Ealing Studios comedies of the late 1940s-early 1950s. As a result of wartime bombing, an ancient parchment is uncovered, proving that the Pimlico section of London belongs to Burgundy, France. Long taken for granted by other Londoners, the tiny Pimlico populace decides to take advantage of its foreign status. Affable oaf Stanley Holloway is made head of the new government, whereupon he merrily begins erecting borders and imposing customs duties. The sweetly satirical script of Passport to Pimlico was written by director Henry Cornelius and Ealing stalwart T.E.B. Clarke. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

I've searched for years for one of these movies, well, to my surprise I got all four in one package. They are wounderfully funny,great plots,a beginning, a middle, and a end, and great British humor. could not be happier

Brit's humor

The first one we've watched "Whiskey Galore" is a classic and one we've thought of and hoped to see once more for years. It was wonderful to see the cast and the action and the story but our one regret is that it does not have subtitles in English. The sound track is difficult to follow with the accents and it would have been perfect if there were subtitles to read along with the action. It is fun to see all these old classics and it brings back memories but the sound made it difficult.

horrible sound transfers--needs subtitles
Added 2/19/2008

can't remember any of these being all that good in sound quality. I'm currently turning off "Passport to Pimlico" due to the horrible sound transfer. No subtitles available either.

guess this should be a SUPERB collection
but unluckily for non english speakers
it is very difficult to understand all the
dialogues as it has
NO SUBTITLES (could be English or Spenish ones)

Has noted lot of wonderful collections with
the same problem

Delightful collection

It's a nice, smooth, salubrious, collection of gentle comedies from Ealing. I'd put The Titfield Thunderbolt more or less at the bottom of the list, but they're all amusing and often a little wistful. "Whiskey Galore" is an understated treasure. All are very British, don't you know.
