The Life and Death of
Colonel Blimp -
Special Edition
Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger's
magnificent epic, "The Life And Death Of Colonel Blimp"

through romance, three wars, and a changing world. Featuring Anton Walbrook
and Deborah Kerr in her first leading role (as three characters!), the
vibrant and controversial "The Life And Death Of Colonel Blimp"
is the romantic portrait of a career soldier and a pointed investigation
into the nature of aging, friendship, and human obsolescence.
