The Life And Death Of Colonel Blimp(1943) directed by Michael Powell, Emeric Pressburger.
General Candy (Roger Livesey), who's overseeing an English squad in 1943, is a veteran leader who doesn't have the respect of the men he's training and is considered out-of-touch with what's needed to win the war. But it wasn't always this way. Flashing back to his early career in the Boer War and World War I, we see a dashing young officer whose life has been shaped by three different women (all played by Deborah Kerr), and by a lasting friendship with a German soldier.
Godard is Candy.

We are Ricardo Deakin and Orla Mc Nelis, two filmy types who love waffling extensively about movies.
