The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp/Trivia
- Executive Meddling: In this case, executive branch meddling. Winston Churchill hated the film so much that he attempted to stop it from being made, forbid the use of government property for the army scenes, and withheld it from release outside the UK for two years.
- On a more serious note, the film's American release totally shortened the film and butchered the complex flashback structure, by making it into chronological order. It wasn't until 1980 that the film played in its original form in America. It was also re-titled as The Adventures of Colonel Blimp.
- Star-Making Role: First got Deborah Kerr noticed.
