Additional InformationMore Ealing classics are presented in this three-comedy collection. The classic films included are HUE AND CRY, PASSPORT TO PIMLICO, and THE TITFIELD THUNDERBOLT. This set also includes the documentary FOREVER EALING.<BR>HUE AND CRY: Street boys throw rocks as the credits for HUE AND CRY appear behind them, among the grafitti on a brick wall. Director Charles Crichton's camera pans across London's Docklands. Joe (Harry Fowler), one of the street boys, reads from a "Blood and Thunder" comic. Enthralled, he finds he is walking down the streets mentioned in the comic, as the action from the story appears to unfold before him--a truck with the same number plate stops, men unload large crates looking like those in the comic, a man with a moustache waits outside. With hardly a thought, Joe spies on the scene. Joe and his gang discover the comic is being used to send coded messages to London's criminals. Nobody believes them--so they set out to investigate themselves. Alastair Sim and Jack Warner head up the cast of this classic British film.<BR>PASSPORT TO PIMLICO: When the residents of the Pimlico section of London discover that their neighborhood is historically part of the French duchy of Burgundy, they declare independence from Britain. They even set up customs checkpoints for passengers travelling through Pimlico station on the London Underground. Initially, they're delighted at the turn of events, which means no more wartime shortages or government rationing. But when they get hit by food and water shortages of their own, Britain starts looking rosier by the minute. Stanley Holloway and Betty Warren star.<BR>THE TITFIELD THUNDERBOLT: The railroad between Mallingford and Titfield is losing money, and British Rail decides to close it. Clergyman Sam Weech (George Relph) and Squire Gordon (John Gregson) try to save the railroad by buying it. They enlist Valentine (Stanley Holloway), the owner of Titfield's pub, promising him that, since the railroad will be private, he'll be able to keep the bar on the train open all day. They run into opposition from the owners of the rival bus line, who would like to remove the competition. Battle lines are drawn--sometimes even across couples: Joan the barmaid (Gabrielle Brune) helps them while her fiance, steamroller driver Hawkins (Sid James), joins the opposition. Sam and Gordon have a month to show they can run the railroad efficiently while their opponents start a campaign of sabotage.
