The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp

Major-General Clive Wynne-Candy is a senior commander in the Home Guard during the Second World War. He is "captured" in a Turkish bath by soldiers led by Lieutenant "Spud" Wilson. In 1902, Lieutenant Candy is on leave from the Boer War in 1902. He has received a letter from Edith Hunter (Deborah Kerr), who is working in Berlin. Edith visits them both regularly and, although it is implied that she has feelings for Clive, she becomes engaged to Theo.
