The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp (1943)

General Candy, who's overseeing an English squad in 1943, is a veteran leader who doesn't have the respect of the men he's training and is considered out-of-touch with what's needed to win the war. But it wasn't always this way. Flashing back to his early career in the Boer War and World War I, we see a dashing young officer whose life has been shaped by three different women, and by a lasting friendship with a German soldier.

A very unusual biopic of a British military officer through the span of 40 years and how his unwaievering and steadfast belief that war can be won in a gentmanly manner is right. Of course over the years he comes to realize his folly in his belief and ends up on the side lines alone.

Just rewatched this -- a truly brilliant film, well-served by Criterion. Anton Walbrook does a spectacular job as Blimp's German friend -- Deborah Kerr as well in her triple role. Roger Livesey sports what must be the most amazing moustache in film history. Great camera work and editing -- actually, superlative all-round.

The lead should be a role model for us all, how to be a chap at all times.

An epic satire of war, nationalism, tradition, and Britain itself, The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp is also a touching tale of love and friendship. Loosely inspired by the British political cartoon character (mostly in name only), Powell and Pressburger's masterpiece sweeps across multiple decades and three different wars. Focusing upon the ongoing tensions between Germany and Britain, Colonel Blimp starts with The Boer Wars progresses through World War I and ends during World War II. Along the way, Clive Candy (his name is not actually Colonel Blimp) fights a duel, falls in love multiple times, makes a lifelong friend, and suffers loss. Churchill tried to have the film banned for its satirization of British nationalism and militarism and its positive depiction of a German officer, and ti was released internationally in a severely cut version. But the Archers' uncut film remains a masterwork that deftly blends humor, drama , and politics together with the deft writing and direction of Powell and Pressburger to create a truly unique film that transcends genre.

A film about Britishness and friendship that looks beautiful and brings a lump to your throat. Brilliant.
