Studio Canal have revealed that they are preparing a Blu-ray release of director Henry Cornelius'
Passport to Pimlico (1949), starring Stanley Holloway, Betty Warren, and Barbara Murray. The preliminary release date set by the studio is June 18th.
An unexploded bomb goes off in Pimlico, uncovering documents which reveal that this part of London in fact belongs to Burgundy in France. An autonomous state is set up in a spirit of optimism, but the petty squabbles of everyday life soon shatter the Utopian vision of a non-restrictive nation. This Ealing classic earned an Oscar nomination for Best Screenplay in 1950.
