Editing Colonel Blimp (section)

==Film==
In 1943, [[Powell and Pressburger|Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger]] wrote, produced, and directed the motion picture ''[[The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp]]'' (1943).  Filmed during wartime, the movie portrayed the life of an admirable British officer named Clive Candy.  The story encouraged the audience to accept that although the officer was honorable, with time his opinions had become outdated, and that winning a modern war required irregular means. The British film featured [[Roger Livesey]] in the title role, [[Deborah Kerr]], and [[Anton Walbrook]]. The "Blimp" character was not actually called "Blimp" other than in the title, nor did he die.
