It took three hours to watch it before I realized that I finally had time to listen to the post-screening talk after watching it at the Hong Kong Film Archive. The movie is still pretty good, at least it doesn't make people sleepy...

The color restoration is very good. Kerr is amazing to play the triangle by himself, but when it is too scattered, each character is too thin. The second male German officer is extremely handsome. It can only take courage to shoot such a film during World War II. Now It seems more like a limited series than a...

I don't know why, but I've been wanting to watch it since I saw this name, and finally fulfilled a wish. After watching it, I like it. It is actually very difficult to make a movie that takes clips over a long period of time. It depends on the director's aura. Four and a half...

The story begins with the old General Kendi being put as a prisoner by a young man. He borrowed a bath to return to forty years ago, met the first woman played by Deborah Kerr, and angered the Germans and lost a lot of money. A duel opened up the 40-year friendship between Britain and Germany, and even spanned two wars. Kendi's loyalty was not only in his friends, but also in the face of his beloved...

CC. "The War Begins at Midnight", the film begins and ends with the World War II training in 1942. It is divided into three sections with flashbacks to tell the lonely and romantic life course of the general from 1902 to 1942. The general imitates the satire written by David Lowe The cartoon character is Colonel Blimp, a fat, bald, walrus-like beard. The humanistic connotation of the film is similar to that of Renoir's "The Grand Mirage", mourning the ancient European chivalry lost in the two...

Deborah Kerr and Renee Zellweger are so similar. The female protagonist played the role of a triangle, which should have been rare at that time. The span of several decades is huge. Before the end of World War II, some tendencies of this film were still relatively radical. In terms of 43 years, the quality of this lens is very good. A story about two women and one...

Deborah Cole is so beautiful, no wonder the director let her play the role of the triangle alone, in other words, this movie would be boring without Deborah Cole....

[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
-
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.
