Roger Livesey dynamically embodies outmoded English militarism as the indelible General Clive Candy, who barely survives four decades of tumultuous British history, only to see the world change irrevocably before his eyes. An incomparable film about war, love, aging, and obsolescence, renowned for its Technicolor cinematography. Based on the satirical Colonel Blimp comic strip by David Low. Color, 163 min. Restored version. (35mm)
