A food-based magical oddity

A very strange and whimsical short film that seems to have been envisaged as a feel-good fantasy for viewers to sit through in a post-WW2 rationed country. This one stars man-of-the-moment Cyril Fletcher as the host of a party who dreams about the arrival of a magician (called Merlin, naturally), played by future Mr Blunden Laurence Naismith. The non-existent plot focusses on extra helpings of food and cake while supporting characters come and go, including a youthful Harry Fowler playing a spiv and Jon Pertwee as a government suit. It's weird stuff for sure, and even as a fan of the era I didn't really enjoy it.
