The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

The feature film starring
Anton Walbrook , Deborah Kerr Roger Livesey
This great British epic traces the military career of Clive Candy , vc, personification of the traditional British gentleman-soldier. From the Boer War through the First World War to the brink of the Second, Candy pursues the elusive virtues of honour, magnanimity and fairness in love and war. Roger Livesey excels as Candy in this masterly affirmation of an ideal doomed by the looming terrors of Hitler's war.
