Think you can say what you like to an old one, do you? Do you know how many wars I've been in? I was fighting for my country when your father was still in bum freezers. Puppy, gangster. You laugh at my big belly, but you don't know how I got it. You laugh at my mustache, but you don't know why I grew it. How do you know what sort of fellow I was when I was as young as you are, 40 years ago? THE LIFE AND DEATH OF COLONEL BLIMP (1943) — Dir. Michael Powell & Emeric Pressburger

It is endlessly frustrating to me that I can't convince anyone to watch all of THE LIFE AND DEATH OF COLONEL BLIMP — even dedicated Anton Walbrook fans who love THE RED SHOES (as they should). They get put off by the subject matter or the frantic opening, and they don't stick around for the Anton Walbrook-Roger Livesey love story, or Deborah Kerr in a triple role, or Walbrook's incredibly moving single-take soliloquy about being a German seeking refuge from the Nazis (which is especially devastating knowing Walbrook's bio, and that Emeric Pressburger, who wrote that scene, was in a similar position IRL).
