The premiere takes place of Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger’s The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp, prior to the film going on general release on the 26th July. The title character is played by Roger Livesey (first-choice Laurence Olivier was unavailable), who is supported by Anton Walbrook and Deborah Kerr in a multiple role. The film receives a mixed reception, and Prime Minister Winston Churchill tries to have it banned from export because of the sympathetic portrait given to the reactionary Blimp. [ADD] |
