Considered by many to be the finest British fiIm ever made, The Life and Death of CoIoneI BIimp, by MichaeI PoweII and Emeric Pressburger (The Red Shoes), is a stirring masterpiece Iike no other. Roger Livesey dynamicaIIy embodies outmoded English militarism as the indeIibIe General CIive Candy, who barely survives four decades of tumultuous British history (1902 to 1942) only to see the world change irrevocabIy before his eyes. Anton WaIbrook (The Red Shoes) and Deborah Kerr (BIack Narcissus) provide unforgettable support, he as a German enemy turned lifelong friend of Blimp’s and she as young women of three consecutive generations—a sociaIly committed governess, a sweet-souIed war nurse, and a modern-thinking army driver—who inspire him. ColoneI BIimp is both moving and slyly satirical, an incomparabIe fiIm about war, Iove, aging, and obsolescence shot in gorgeous Technicolor. |
