Powell's films are either loved from the start or completely unwatchable. This belongs to the latter. Even if the narrative structure and shooting technology are ahead of the times, this type of subject matter is really...

9. The film is a bit of a reflection, the traditional values of the British army on the front lines of the battlefield at that time did not apply to the threat of the Nazis. The character image is derived from the famous British cartoon image, the ideal and romantic bald soldier. 丨Genius is genius, there are many commendable places, different roles are played by one person, sound changes the bond or alienation of interpersonal relationships, and the scheduling of mirrors is quite wonderful in...

Miss Deborah starred in three similar beauties in the same play, which is considered a feat in the film industry. The third one changed into a military uniform, and I almost didn't recognize it. The worst guy is me. A movie with only English subtitles, luckily the plot is not too difficult, guess...

It is always old-fashioned, but it is also pleasing to the eye. The comic effect of the relationship between the characters, the materialistic flow and the social context can achieve the purpose of war reflection, which is originally a tragedy. It is really addicting. The color is also pleasing to the eye under the texture of the film, which is a great work. Powell just wants to be suppressed by Prey, and can make such a film again (but I still think Prey is too old-fashioned, and then think...

This film is among the finest in the genre of "what it means to be English." All the elements are there: British humor, pragmatism mixed with high principles, romanticism about the empire and a sense that all is not well. Lush cinematography, as...

Hopelessly British, outrageously funny, shamelessly propagandistic at the height of war. A true British...

[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.

Colonel Goodhead: If we don't know what we are doing, the enemy certainly can't anticipate our future actions.
