The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp

(1943, dir. Michael Powell, Emeric Pressburger, w/ James McKechnie, Neville Mapp, Vincent Holman, Roger Livesey)

The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp will finish at approximately 7:06pm.

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."
