The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp: Powell and Pressburger Part 3

"Relentlessly joyful" is one of Mike and Dan's many attempts to articulate the feel and experience of watching The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp (1943), Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger's epic time-sweeping story about a good man caught in a changing world. In this longer-than-usual episode, the conversation touches upon what's removed from the film, the importance of what remains, and how this indisputable masterpiece provokes not a single eye-roll as it inspires us to be morally courageous. When's the last time a film did that for you? Remember, the war starts at midnight, so start listening as soon as you can!  Please subscribe to the show wherever you get your podcasts and follow us on YouTube, Twitter and Letterboxd.
