A Technicolor Confection: Powell and Pressburger’s THE LIFE AND DEATH OF COLONEL BLIMP (’43) by Jill Blake

One of the more remarkable things about film is its advancements in technology, storytelling and acting styles. In the course of a mere century or so, film, in all its various forms, and those who create it, have remained at the forefront of innovation. Some of that innovation merely laid the foundation for other improvements, and as such has fallen into the dreaded “dated” category. For example, much of the original CGI used in film throughout the 1990s and early 2000s hasn’t been treated kindly by viewers accustomed to the more complex visuals that are enjoyed today. But there are some advancements in film from long ago that are just as fresh and impressive as the day they were created: Busby Berkeley’s unique choreography; Alfred Hitchcock’s manipulation of scale for dramatic tension; William Wyler and Gregg Toland’s use of deep focus; John Ford’s remarkable photography of sweeping landscapes; and Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger’s surreal fairy tales filmed in vibrant Technicolor.

Sure, many filmmakers have used Technicolor in their movies, saturating the screen with beautiful images for their audiences, but Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger took the medium to new heights, and few filmmakers have been able to replicate their mastery of this technology. They set the standard for Technicolor with their use of lighting, brilliantly colored costumes and make-up, to bring a vision to the screen that is—for lack of a better word—dreamlike. A vision like you’re experiencing the clearest and brightest day, one where you aren’t sure if anything is real because it’s so perfect; an out-of-body experience, combined with the feeling of Déjà vu. A rare, memorable, indescribable feeling we’ve all had at some point in our lives, and somehow Powell and Pressburger found a way to encapsulate it for the screen.

In their long and impressive collaboration, which includes BLACK NARCISSUS (’47), THE RED SHOES (’48) and the recently rediscovered THE TALES OF HOFFMAN (’51), Powell and Pressburger continually improved upon their craft, creating iconic images, entrancing audiences then and now. Of all their films, including the three previously mentioned, I believe their greatest achievement to be the 1943 Technicolor masterpiece, THE LIFE AND DEATH OF COLONEL BLIMP, starring Archers’ regulars Anton Walbrook, Deborah Kerr and Roger Livesey (a personal favorite of mine).

THE LIFE AND DEATH OF COLONEL BLIMP is one of those films that feels like it’s about nothing, at least at first. And yet, upon further reflection and revisitation, it’s a film that is about everything that happens in one man’s long, adventure-filled life. It’s about being young and growing old; love and loss; stubbornness; social convention; friends and enemies; patriotism and honor. And the story of this remarkable man’s life is told in a most unique and unconventional way that is trademark Powell and Pressburger. Broken up into distinct sections, THE LIFE AND DEATH OF COLONEL BLIMP introduces us to Major-General Clive Wynne-Candy (Roger Livesey) in present day, as he relaxes in the steamy bathing room at the British club where he’s long been a member and now resides. As commander of the Home Guard at the start of World War II, Candy has ordered his men to engage in a training exercise, which isn’t due to start until midnight. His much-younger subordinates, well-versed in the unfair, dirty tactics of the enemy in modern warfare, have decided to initiate the training exercise early, with many of the older military leadership, including Candy, bellowing, “But war doesn’t start till midnight!” (This repetitive and comical bit is very reminiscent of Cary Grant’s David Huxley frantically shouting, “I’ll be with you in a minute, Mr. Peabody!”) Candy is older—past retirement age—with a pot belly, bald head and a big walrus mustache. His appearance and bombastic personality make him look like a walking caricature, and as such, his leading subordinate officer shows a distinct lack of respect toward his authority. To him, Candy is an old dinosaur, completely out of touch with the reality of the current military and social environment. And while Candy is certainly set in his ways, disregarding a man’s entire career and life experience just because of his age is shameful. Of course, Candy refuses to go along with the premature training exercise, which in turn is a broad refusal of the modernization of the military and warfare in favor of a simpler and more dignified era—at least in Candy’s view. He and his officer engage in a fist fight, falling into one of the pools in the spa. We see a subtle time-lapse and a much younger, physically fit and handsome Clive Wynne-Candy emerges, in a clever use of flashback. It’s the turn of the century, at the end of the Boer War, and Candy has established himself as a well-respected, charismatic fixture of the British Army. A man who has chosen a life of dedication and service to the military and his country.

Throughout this flashback, we learn all about Clive Wynne-Candy’s life and career, spanning three different wars, leading up to the moment where we first meet him in the men’s club in present day. We see that Candy wasn’t always the blustering and curmudgeonly figure. Affectionately nicknamed “Sugar,” “Sugar Candy” and “Shuggie” by his close friends (no one in present day would ever believe a man like Candy befitting of such an endearing nickname), Candy was well-loved by those close to him and proved himself to be a man of deep intellect and emotion, fiercely devoted to his friends and to his country. His pot belly and age are well-earned, as is his mustache—grown to conceal a particularly nasty injury suffered in a duel (an event brought on by a quite humorous moment, and introducing Candy to an unexpected and most unlikely friend).

The story of Clive Wynne-Candy’s life is remarkable and entertaining. But it’s the luscious Technicolor photography that makes this film so special. The colors are so vibrant, there are times when you feel as if you could reach into the screen and feel the fabric of Deborah Kerr’s dress or touch the grass where Anton Walbrook sits as he and his fellow prisoners of war listen to music. Not to mention the superb physical transformation of a thirty-seven-year-old Roger Livesey as his Clive Wynne-Candy ages—a truly ingenious use of both makeup and Livesey’s incredible acting talents. Powell and Pressburger not only knew how to tell interesting, multi-layered stories, but they also understood the power of visuals in that storytelling. THE LIFE AND DEATH OF COLONEL BLIMP remains not only one of the finest uses of Technicolor, but stands as proof that a good story, no matter how simple it may be, is invaluable and timeless.

My Favorite Album #186 - Sarah Belkner on Peter Gabriel ‘So’ (1986)

Sydney singer-songwriter Sarah Belkner makes music that's complex, compelling and controlled, and bathed in the influence of 80s new wave pop. Today she joins me to talk Peter Gabriel's solo album 'So', the 1986 juggernaut that dominated MTV and established his commercial resilience after a series of acclaimed, less populist records.

We talk about why Kate Bush stepped in for Dolly Parton on the duet ‘Don’t Give Up’, the record-setting music video for ‘Sledgehammer’, the 60s soul influence on the album, the contribution of producer Daniel Lanois and why top 40 bangers can be more interesting when they come from experimental artists.

My Favorite Album #185 - Mark Hart (Crowded House) on XTC ‘Drums and Wires’ (1979)

Singer/songwriter and multi-instrumental wizard Mark Hart (Crowded House, Supertramp) joins me for a freewheeling journey through the records that inspired him through his formative years, particularly XTC’s nervy, new-wave classic ‘Drums and Wires’ .

We talk about how XTC hid their intricacy and sophistication through canny pop songwriting, whatever happened to Oingo Boingo, driving to Woodstock on acid, how some Crowded House songs changed after they played them live, Mark’s possibly terrible childhood bands, a cover of “Louie Louie” in the style of Bowie’s “Let’s Dance”, the time Nick Seymour almost introduced Mark to XTC guitarist Dave Gregory on a boat, why Mark’s height got him fired from Jackshit and much more.

My Favorite Album #179 - Nick Allbrook (POND) on OutKast ‘The Love Below’ (2003)

Singer/songwriter and POND frontman Nick Allbrook takes me backstage before the band's recent LA show to reveal his long-term infatuation with Outkast's 2003 classic 'Love Below', the complex and endlessly inventive record helped teach Nick it was ok to love pop bangers.

We talk about how the album is structured like a concept record, the wonderfully weird production choices, how Andre 3000 and Outkast evolved from their early Atlanta rap days into the genre blending of 'Love Below', the Outkast cover Nick did with Tame Impala on triple J, stories about foisting the record on the Tame boys in their old share house, the pop anxiety some psych fans have about the evolution of Pond's sound and what to expect from the new Pond record.

My Favorite Album #193 - Dan Soder on Queens of the Stone Age ‘Like Clockwork’ (2013)

Standup comic, actor, co-host of The Bonfire, Dan Soder has followed an instinct to just ‘do cool shit’. His just ‘do cool shit’ idol is Josh Homme, frontman of Queens of the Stone Age.

We talk about how being uncool makes QOTSA the coolest band in the world, why Dan doesn’t care how many years it takes between Queens records, how Elton John talked Homme into letting him play piano on the album, the QOTSA song that could heal the divided America, how Josh Homme embraces ‘the Koppelman rule’ and what Dan’s dream QOTSA lineup would be.

My Favorite Album #192 - Kingswood on The Beatles ‘Magical Mystery Tour’ (1967)

Kingswood are one of Australia's hottest rock bands, and I sat down with frontman Fergus and axeman Alex on release day for their new album ‘After Hours, Before Dawn’, to talk about why "everything comes back to the Beatles", studio experimentation, finding their own George Martin, mellotrons, the music teacher that made them appreciate the Beatles and the art of the album and translating dreams into songs, with horrifying results.

My Favorite Album #191 - Becky Lucas on Michael Jackson ‘Bad’ (1987)

Standup comic, writer and self-described ‘hateful rat’ Becky Lucas on her childhood infatuation with the music of Michael Jackson, and arguably MJ’s last classic album, 1987′s ‘Bad’.

We talk about how Jackson still managed to connect to people through music when isolated from the everyday world, I tell a bizarre MJ studio story (courtesy of bass legend Guy Pratt), the death of mass culture in the modern world, why Becky bailed on a MJ gig mid-way through and our memories of the day MJ died.

My Favorite Album #190 - PVT on Brian Eno 'Another Green World' and how you can use his oblique strategies to fire the creative process

PVT drummer Laurence Pike joins me to discuss the iconic British producer, singer-songwriter, self proclaimed 'non-musician' and mad professor Brian Eno and his classic album Another Green World (1975).

We use Eno's classic 'Oblique Strategies' cards, we try to find insight into Eno's creativity, PVT's musical process and different ways of overcoming creative stumbling blocks and barriers, and that time Eno hit on Laurence’s wife.

My Favorite Album #189 - Middle Kids on My Brightest Diamond 'Bring Me The Workhorse' (2006) and the debt MK owe to Bach and Chopin

Middle Kids frontwoman and chief songwriter Hannah Joy on the marriage of emotional indie folk and sophisticated classicism that is My Brightest Diamond's debut LP and how it has influenced her own approach to pop music.

Why are all modern rockers in debt to Bach and Chopin (and where does ABBA fit in)? What does it mean to see yourself as only a part of the greater story of pop music? What's with all the animal metaphors on this album? What is the most embarrassing thing Middle Kids drummer Harry Day has done on tour?

My Favorite Album #188 - The Bitter Script Reader on Tom Hanks’ classic rock’n’roll movie ‘That Thing You Do’ (1996)

Film author and blogger the Bitter Script Reader joins me to celebrate Tom Hanks' classic 1996 film That Thing You Do, the best rock'n'roll biopic to only feature fictional pop bands.

We talk about how the film embodies the spirit of early 60s rock, as well as the spirit of Tom Hanks, how Hanks used his leverage as the biggest movie star on earth to get this idiosyncratic little film made, how the original songs in the film feel authentic to the period without feeling like parodies of real 60s rock, the trick of creating fake historical stars in films set amongst real history, how Fountains of Wayne's Adam Schlesinger was responsible for the title song and how the film morally diverges from almost all other rock'n'roll movies.

My Favorite Album #187. Carly Rae Jepsen 'Emotion' (2015) with CRJ Dream Team Roundtable

How does the woman behind one of the biggest mainstream pop singles of the decade follow it up with a cult album beloved by critics and hipsters alike?

My Favorite Album #184 - Emma Swift on Marianne Faithfull ‘Broken English’ (1974)

In a moment of history where pissed off women are rising up, Queen of the Sadcore Bangers Emma Swift returns to the show to talk about Marianne Faithfull's brittle, confronting classic 'Broken English'.

Faithfull started her career being exploited as a folk-pop starlet, hitting rock bottom with drugs and homelessness and then taking control of her life and identity with this album. Emma and I talk about the cock forrest of the punk / new wave scene, how women are often written out of pop history, the inappropriate way Emma discovered the album, how it's influencing the shift in her music from despair to rage, and more.
