A Story of Kind Hearts and Overdrafts. The story of a handful of young men who wrote a chapter of cinema history. In just 10 years, from post-war austerity, they produced a series of film comedies which were so original and funny that the name of their quiet, residential London borough became world famous. In their own peculiar way they put Ealing on the map. Told by Frank Muir Special reminiscences by Sir Michael Balcon, Joan Greenwood, Sir Alec Guinness, Barbara Murray, Jack Warner and some of the writers, producers and directors who were given their chance in what was called 'Mr Balcon 's Academy for young gentlemen' with excerpts from such Ealing comedies as: Hue and Cry, Passport to Pimlico, Kind Hearts and Coronets, Whisky Galore, A Run for your Money, The Lavender Hill Mob, The Man in the White Suit, The Ladykillers and also from other Ealing films including Ships with Wings, San Demetrio - London, Black Sheep of Whitehall, The Captive Heart, Dead of Night, It Always Rains on Sunday, The Blue Lamp.
