Movie Reviews of Passport to Pimlico
Movie Review: Ealing classic
Summary: 5 Stars
A classic post-war Ealing film that is worth buying and watching over and over. Believe me it improves with every viewing. Previous reviewers have already outlined the plot so I'm not going to repeat that. What I will say is that this is a highly original, well-scripted and marvellously well directed film that has many laugh out-loud moments. Look out for a young Michael Horden who has a small role.
This really is a political satire long before the word satire came into popular use in the 1960's. I don't know the history behind the films release, but given that it was made in 1949 its amazing that the film was released unscathed. Who knows maybe it wasn't....
Great entertainment.
