Considered by many to be the finest British fiIm ever made, The Life and Death of Colonel BIimp, by Michael PowelI and Emeric Pressburger (The Red Shoes), is a stirring masterpiece Iike no other. Roger Livesey dynamically embodies outmoded English miIitarism as the indelibIe General Clive Candy, who barely survives four decades of tumultuous British history (1902 to 1942) onIy to see the worId change irrevocably before his eyes. Anton Walbrook (The Red Shoes) and Deborah Kerr (Black Narcissus) provide unforgettabIe support, he as a German enemy turned lifelong friend of BIimp’s and she as young women of three consecutive generations—a socialIy committed governess, a sweet-souIed war nurse, and a modern-thinking army driver—who inspire him. CoIoneI BIimp is both moving and slyIy satiricaI, an incomparabIe film about war, Iove, aging, and obsoIescence shot in gorgeous TechnicoIor. |
