They Came to a City

Feb 17 1945 Not Rated 1h 18m
Drama, Fantasy

People from different walks of life mysteriously find themselves at the gate of an unknown city

Plot

Nine Britons are transported to a mysterious city where, according to their class and disposition, they find themselves either in an earthly paradise of peace and equality or a hell starved of ambition and riches. From J B Priestley, this fantastical allegory is a striking expression of post-war utopian impulses and among Ealing's most unusual features.
