Synopsis
The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp
Powell and Pressburger edited Ian Christie
Published by Faber & Faber
The plot is juxtaposed to that of the British officer's thrice lost love - which introduces a disturbing undercurrent of romantic pessimism into what might otherwise seem a nostalgic chronicle
This volume also contains documentary material relevant to Powell and Pressburger's struggle to get the film made in war-torn Britain
