The Life And Death Of Colonel Blimp


Listen Later

Mondo returns to talk about one of the greatest films in the history of cinema, The Life And Death Of Colonel Blimp, produced and directed by “The Archers,” Michael Powell and Emerick Pressburger.

Right out of the gate, I’ll mention that the “Let’s Franchise This, Baby” segment is one of the ages; that is to say, the film we suggest be made SHOULD HAVE BEEN MADE YESTERDAY! No, really.

We should probably have gushed a little more about Deborah Kerr’s performance. She was only twenty years old when Blimp was filmed and the actress played three different women who were all distinct. If you’ve never seen this film, it is currently on YouTube for free.
