Feature Film
Director: Henry Cornelius
Writer: T.E.B. Clarke
Cinematographer: Lionel Banes
Composer: Georges Auric
Cast: Stanley Holloway, Betty Warren, Barbara Murray, Paul Dupuis, John Slater, Jane Hylton, Philip Stainton, Margaret Rutherford, Basil Radford, Naunton Wayne
This charming Ealing comedy, a celebration of idiosyncrasy and an attack against bureaucracy, (two peculiarly British traits,) manages to be both whimsical and, antithetically, realistic in its depiction of the lives of ordinary people in post-war London, whilst also being thoroughly entertaining.
