The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp (1943)

"An unforgettable story of forty gallant years."

7.5 July 26, 1943 2h 43m Released

General Candy, who's overseeing an English squad in 1943, is a veteran leader who doesn't have the respect of the men he's training and is considered out-of-touch with what's needed to win the war. But it wasn't always this way. Flashing back to his early career in the Boer War and World War I, we see a dashing young officer whose life has been shaped by three different women, and by a lasting friendship with a German soldier.
