But there must have been *some* sort of Underground line, since the film shows a train being stopped and boarded by Stanley Holloway for passport checks before being allowed into Pimlico. I can't remember whether it was a tube or subsurface train :-) PaulO |

I seem to remember the train in the film was above street level, which makes me
think that bit might have been filmed south of the river, perhaps in Battersea or Vauxhall. (though locals in Ebury Bridge Road told me the film, at least the bombed bits, was filmed in Chelsea). If it was a tube train though, I wonder could it have been on what's now the Hammersmith, on the elevated stretch, by Latimer Road say? |

If it was a tube train though, I wonder could it have been on what's now the Hammersmith, on the elevated stretch, by Latimer Road say? My recollection of "Passport to Pimlico" is that the train was in a cut and cover tunnel or cutting or both. It is only 40 years ago! -- Colin Rosenstiel Can't find the original posting, but the location details below were taken from: http://www.britmovie.co.uk/studios/e...graphy/52.html The casting of Passport to Pimlico, while using many familiar Ealing faces, is particularly happy. The genial grocer, Pemberton (Stanley Holloway), is admirably contrasted with the timid, precise bank manager, Wix (Raymond Huntley), while outsiders include a delightfully absurd history professor (Margaret Rutherford) and a Burgundian duke (Paul Dupuis) who dashes a girl's romantic dreamt of Dijon with chat about the trams in the main square and cement factories. Basil Radford and Naunton Wayne personify Whitehall red tape. The irony of the situation is best summed up by the grocer's wife who, when it is suggested they are now a bunch of foreigners, declares: We always were English, and we always will be English, and it’s just because we're English we’re sticking out for our right to be Burgundians! Much of the film was shot on an outdoor set built on a cleared bomb site off the Lambeth Road, a mile to the east of real Pimlico, although the original title was kept largely for its curious foreign sounding quality and pleasing alliteration. No reference to the UndergrounD shots, though. :-( -- Colin Rosenstiel |
