The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp

1944Michael Powell

4.8/5

Portrays in warm-hearted detail the life and loves of one extraordinary man. We meet the imposingly rotund General Clive Wynne-Candy, a blustering old duffer who seems the epitome of stuffy, outmoded values. Traveling backwards 40 years we see a different man altogether: the young and dashing officer "Sugar" Candy. Through a series of relationships with three women and his lifelong friendship with a German officer, we see Candy's life unfold and come to understand how difficult it is for him to adapt his sense of military honor to modern notions of "total war."

If you like The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp, you might also like British War Drama Films, 1940s War Drama Films, Films Set In England, and 1943 Romantic Drama Films.
