FILM SCREENINGS

The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp

1943. Great Britain. Directed, written, and produced by Michael Powell, Emeric Pressburger. With Anton Walbrook, Roger Livesy, Deborah Kerr. The first production of the Archers, Powell and Pressburger’s extraordinarily idiosyncratic and eccentric company, was a catalyst in the rebirth of British cinema in spite of Winston Churchill’s efforts to ban it as counterproductive to the war effort. Special thanks to the Film Foundation. 163 min.
