Life and Death of Colonel Blimp

HMV have a steelbook up for this now. No artwork yet but a great film and the restoration print looked amazing.

Its ok it is in the top IMDB films of all time. Its a Powell and Pressburger "Archers" film championed by Martin Scorcese.
Other films by them are Black Narcissus and The Red Shoes all of which have had fantastic restorations and releases by ITV on blu ray

I guessed that by the listing . I meant what's it about, what do people think about it etc. The YouTube vida ain't a great way i guess to get a good idea but you ninja posted .

Its Second World War propaganda. Filmed in 1943 its still a very good film. It isn't a case of all Germans are evil as you would expect from wartime propaganda.

Here's the link to the other thread on the film, unfortunately all the comments ware lost in the database crash but it does still have a brief synopsis.

Hopefully they will stick to the release date this time.

Guess that'll tech me to wait lmao. You can always cancel later but never likely to get the same price again

It isnt a second world war propaganda film quite the opposite, Churchill disliked it that much he banned it from export to other countries til 1945.
Probably best to watch it to appreciate it and there are many essays, reviews of it on the web. 95% on rotten tomatoes for example
