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.

Editor's Verdict

❌NO

"The movie is set in the summer of 1947, focusing on the Royal Wedding celebrations. The detected 'Holiday Release' is irrelevant to the film's content. There are no discernible Christmas elements in the setting, plot, themes, or iconography."
