The story of Epic! From 1902 to the end of World War II, the friendship that spanned more than half a century between the two world wars was vividly displayed by the British on the big screen. Another combination of Powerll and Pressburger, Black Narcissus, Hongling Yan Hundred Battles General, this is the ultimate use of Technicolor! General Candy's old age dress is so good, so natural that it leaves no traces. Kerr actually played three...

The scheduling of several closed spaces in P&P is very advanced. There are no fixed shots and direct close-up switching, forcing the audience to actively feel the dialogue in the tension, pay attention to the performance (to stimulate their imagination and sense of participation), and then create a panoramic scene, release the spatial information, and then Further intensify the mood with camera scheduling. A plot spanning 40 years, 160 minutes is not too...

Le génie de MP et EP fait de ce propagande de guerre traitant le code moral militaire un film au Technicolor flamboyant d'une densité historique et humaine rare. Un chef d'oeuvre baroque qui séduit par sa splendeur visuelle résistant au temps comme la beauté de...

In 1943, before World War II ended, the film was somewhat radical in nature. The three lead actors are superb. The humour and corruption inherent in British cinema begins with...

Fast paced and colorful. After two wars, friendship across national borders, and the sadness and relief of the hero at the end, the 40 years of ups and downs are both warm and bitter. It's fun to fall into the bath to open up memories and shoot a beast head at the...

[Film Review] The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp (1943) 8.2/10
This Powell-Pressburger's pièce de résistence, which eulogizes the quintessential “Englishness”, is a lavish moonshot on show, not least for its renowned Technicolor sumptuousness that transmogrifies studio-bound fakery into manufactured imagery of an eyeful. The titular Colonel Blimp, a beloved...
The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp quotes

Clive Candy: I heard all that in the last war! They fought foul then - and who won it?
Theo Kretschmar-Schuldorff: I don't think you won it. We lost it -but you lost something, too. You forgot to learn the moral. Because victory was yours, you failed to learn your lesson twenty years ago and now you have to pay the school fees again. Some of you will learn quicker than the others, some of you will never learn it - because you've been educated to be a gentleman and a sportsman, in peace and in war. But Clive!
[tenderly]
Theo Kretschmar-Schuldorff: Dear old Clive - this is not a gentleman's war. This time you're fighting for your very existence against the most devilish idea ever created by a human brain - Nazism. And if you lose, there won't be a return match next year... perhaps not even for a hundred years.

Murdoch: Anything wrong, sir?
Clive Candy: Murdoch, the war is over. The Germans have accepted the terms of the armistice; hostilities cease at 10 O'clock. It's nearly that now. Murdoch, do you know what this means?
Murdoch: I do, sir. Peace. We can go home. Everybody can go home.
Clive Candy: For me, Murdoch, it means more than that; it means that right is might after all. The Germans have shelled hospitals, bombed open towns, sunk neutral ships, used poison gas, and we won -- clean fighting, honest soldiering have won. God bless you, Murdoch.
Murdoch: Sir.
