multiplicity: … Colonel Blimp

The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp

In 1943 young officers see Major General Clive Wynne-Candy as an old, soft, pudgy man with a ridiculous mustache and outdated ideas of what is required to win the war. But they have no idea of how his background has shaped him – not only his military experience since the Boer War but also three significant women: Berlin based English schoolteacher Edith Hunter, Red Cross nurse Barbara Wynne, and Angela ‘Johnny’ Cannon, his personal driver during WWII (all played by Deborah Kerr).
