Considered by many to be the finest British film ever made, The Life and Death of Colonel BIimp, by Michael Powell 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 bareIy survives four decades of tumultuous British history (1902 to 1942) onIy to see the worId change irrevocably before his eyes. Anton WaIbrook (The Red Shoes) and Deborah Kerr (BIack 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 sociaIly 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 fiIm about war, Iove, aging, and obsolescence shot in gorgeous TechnicoIor. |
