Reviews for The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp
It's a blatant bit of World War II propaganda and very talky, although with an undeniable spirit and some Lubitsch-like comic passages.
The movie looks past the fat, bald military man with the walrus moustache, and sees inside, to an idealist and a romantic. To know him is to love him.
A film which may just make you look at your life and ask some questions best left unanswered.
