A Private Function

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.

A Private Function is a 1984 British comedy film starring Michael Palin and Maggie Smith. The film was predominantly filmed in Ilkley and Ben Rhydding in West Yorkshire. The film was also screened in the section of Un Certain Regard at the 1985 Cannes Film Festival.

Production

The film was based on an idea by director Malcolm Mowbray, who had worked with Alan Bennett on Our Winnie. Mowbray suggested they make a film set during the time of post-war rationining.

In July 1983 Alan Bennett and Malcolm Mowbray offered the lead role to Michael Palin. Palin wrote in his diary, "Slightly disappointed that the part of Gilbert Chilvers is not a) bigger, b) more difficult or different from things I’ve done. But he does have his moments and it’s a very funny and well observed period piece." Palin later wrote that "I've decided over the weekend not to do it" despite Maggie Smith being attached.

At one stage the film was known as Pork Royale.

Filming started in April 1984. Most of the film was shot in Ilkley and Barnoldswick.

Three pigs were used in the filming of A Private Function which were all named Betty. Producer Mark Shivas was advised by Intellectual Animals UK that the pigs used should be female and six months old so as to not be too large or aggressive. However, the pigs were "unpredictable and often quite dangerous".
