SOLDIER ON! - BLACKBIRD CINEMA FEATURING THE LIFE AND DEATH OF COLONEL BLIMP
Clive Candy: I heard all that in the last war! They fought foul then - and who won it?
Theo Kretschmar-Schuldorff: I don't think you won it. We lost it -but you lost something, too. You forgot to learn the moral. Because victory was yours, you failed to learn your lesson twenty years ago and now you have to pay the school fees again. Some of you will learn quicker than the others, some of you will never learn it - because you've been educated to be a gentleman and a sportsman, in peace and in war. But Clive!
[tenderly]
Theo Kretschmar-Schuldorff: Dear old Clive - this is not a gentleman's war. This time you're fighting for your very existence against the most devilish idea ever created by a human brain - Nazism. And if you lose, there won't be a return match next year... perhaps not even for a hundred years.

BLACKBIRD CINEMA - THE CRITERION COLLECTION
LIFE AND DEATH OF COLONEL BLIMP
DETAILS: The passions and pitfalls of a lifetime in the military are dramatized in Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger's magnificent epic, The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp. The film follows the exploits of pristine British soldier Clive Candy (Roger Livesey) as he battles to maintain his honor and proud gentlemanly conduct through romance, three wars, and a changing world. Vibrant and controversial, The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp is at once a romantic portrait of a career soldier and a pointed investigation into the nature of aging, friendship, and obsolescence.
New high-definition digital transfer of the British Film Institute's restoration of the original full-length version of the film, audio commentary featuring director Michael Powell with Martin Scorsese, a collection of David Low's original Colonel Blimp cartoons and optional English subtitles for the deaf and hearing-impaired
