Overview
In the summer of 1947, Britain prepares to commemorate the wedding of Princess Elizabeth and Prince Phillip. To get around food-rationing laws, Dr. Charles Swaby, accountant Henry Allardyce and solicitor Frank Lockwood are fattening a black-market pig for the big day. Egged on by his wife, meek Gilbert Chilvers steals the swine, but the couple must conceal it from inspector Morris Wormold.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A gently subversive satire of post-war British class hierarchies, told through the delightful chaos of ordinary people outwitting the establishment over a stolen pig. It's a film that finds profound comedy in the gap between what Britain pretends to be and what it actually is.
