What The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp Is About
Forty years in the life of a British officer, told across three wars and one German friendship. The country was at war while it was being made and the government disliked it, because the most honourable person in it is the German. What Powell and Pressburger are really asking is what happens to a man who learned to fight by rules when he meets an enemy who has none. They neither mock their hero nor sanctify him, they simply show him arriving late. The Technicolor is still extraordinary.
