John and Julie is a 1955 British comedy film written and directed by William Fairchild and starring Colin Gibson, Lesley Dudley, Noelle Middleton and Moira Lister, and featuring Peter Sellers and Sid James in early screen roles.
John and Julie are two young children from Dorset who are eager to see the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II in spite of the fact that their respective parents have no intention of going.
Next Julie joins a group of Brownies on their chartered bus to London, but John is not allowed on because he is a boy.
William Fairchild, making his directorial debut, successfully evokes the warm and cosy atmosphere of good clean fun synonomous with stories dealing with the British middle and working classes, and one has little alternative but to succumb to the syrupy, oldfashioned charm of it all.
