Short description
General Candy, 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, and by a lasting friendship with a German soldier.
What's left behind the scenes
- Three-quarters of the Germans in the crowd at the concentration camp are mannequins.
- Colonel Blimp is a character from a British comic strip from World War II.
- Clive Candy travels to Germany and challenges propaganda clichés about how the British treated people in Africa during the Second Boer War of 1899-1902. Many of the things he disputes actually happened. For example, the term 'concentration camp' was first applied to a British invention during this war.
