[Dixielandjazz] List of Countries

[John McClernan]

Hi Bob,
Yeah, it was a pretty funny comedy from 1949. Here's a quote from  
imdb.com

"When an unexploded WWII bomb is accidentally detonated in Pimlico, an  
area of London, it reveals a treasure trove and documents proving that  
the region is, in fact part of Burgundy, France and thus foreign  
territory. The British Government attempt to regain control by setting  
up border controls and cutting off services to the area. The  
'Burgundians' fight back."

You can rent it remastered on DVD from NetFlix.
Cheers,
John
