Advantages: Great one-liners, great idea for a film, love it! Disadvantages: None
One of my favourite films, Passport to Pimlico was a film I first saw when I was a child, and the concept of it really appealed to me. It came out in 1949, and is set a in post second world war London, Pimlico to be precise (funny that!). It stars Stanley Holloway (also in The Lavender Hill Mob, My Fair Lady and much more), Margaret Rutherford (Miss Marple), and a very early appearance from Charles Hawtry (Carry On films). To summarise slightly, ... ...besides, it is definitely a comedy worth seeing, there is an unexploded bomb, some kids are playing and accidentally(?) kick a tyre down the hole, which sets off the bomb, to reveal a hole (which I gather was a buried cellar) containing among jewels, coins etc, a set of important documents revealing to the inhabitants that Pimlico is in fact legally a part of Burgundy, France! There are some terrific one-liners in this film, one of my favvourites ...
