A Piece of Cake (1948)
Directed by John Irwin
Overview
Set in the austere post–World War II British world of rationing, Cyril dreams up an ode to an imaginary character named Merlin Mound who can provide anything one can wish. Merlin becomes real and grants his host’s wishes; not by conjuring the items out of thin air, but depriving them from other people’s ownership, which leads to trouble.
