This old WWII British farce may look a little dog eared around the edges to some at first glance, but hopefully that won't deter you from watching. This is a great story about what happens when a group of folks try to stick together as a neighborhood and fight against the huge mechanics of the national government. There are some terrrific performances in here, and wonderful ensemble work. Altogether, the plot just gets more and more hilarious, in a typically understated British way, as the stakes in the game get higher and higher.

I was about 5 years old when this film was made, but the backdrop (ruined builings, unexploded bomds, et al) is really accurate.

I recall that my father used to park his car on a bomb site where ther had been a butcher's shop, complete with a tile floor, and "Eastmans" threaded into the tile.

I frst saw this movie when I was about sixteen, and beginning to learn how government works. There is a tremendous credibility to the behaviour of the British Government, which hasn't changed too much.

Similarly, the resentment of all things "official" still exists in the United Kindom, thereby lending a plausibility to the plot.

I do have to add a small disclaimer - around 1965 I worked very briefly as mate on J. Arthur Rank's yacht.
