Review of The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp (1943) by Knox M — 22 Jul 2016
Among the finest English films ever made, The Life and Death Of Colonel Blimp is like a rose without thorns, beautiful, but stands out among its colleagues. Clive Candy's obsession with Edith brings to mind Scottie's obsession with Madeline in Vertigo, and the following of a character from being a young European soldier to manhood brings Barry Lyndon to mind.
The film is brilliant as a black comedy, but also provides social commentary relevant even in the present day.
