    i was going to watch a film about the cuban missile crisis but the same evening i decided to watch this instead. it turned out to be just as if not more enlightening plus it had some comedy to go with it. it's a case study in what democracy is. all new burgandy was missing in thi...( read more)s tale of fiction was some russian missiles, especially as it was set in the cold war era. enjoyable and educational

    When it comes to Brit movies I prefer ones from the 60s but this was actually alright and better than I expected. Margaret Rutherford was rather funny too.

    An wonderful British comedy.

    Centred around the area of Pimlico in London where an unexploded WW2 bomb about to be recovered is set off and below uncovers a cave of gold and riches and will that it belongs to Burgundy; a historian also makes the discovery that the people of th...( read more)e area are burgundians making it foreign soil.

    This causes quite a stir amongst the residents however they are all proud; however they are soon invaded by 'tourists' all over London and people wanting to make a few extra bob, and with even more disruptions and running out of resources the tight knit community work together the clear the problems up. Its a sincere, down to earth and interesting film which keeps a good pace.

    The cast is superb including charles hawtrey before the carry ons, Margaret Rutherford from miss Marple and the brillaint Stanley Holloway making it a witty classic and such a light hearted film from an underestimated era. Its always nice to watch on a rainy day and with the family to see simpler times, but still full of fun.

    If you're in the game, then the stroke's the word
    Don't take no rhythm, don't take no style
    Got a thirst for killin' - grab your vial... "

    First pers...( read more)on to name that song will get an invisible bowl of rice. Nothing will stifle hunger like Uncle Ben's invisible rice, homestyle.

    Watching this I was impressed to note that the number 24 bus still seems to run the same route today as it did in 1949. The buses are more accessible now though.
