So we just got through the most contentious season of The #TraitorsUK, and this piece oddly resonates with the sentiments in #TheLifeAndDeathOfColonelBlimp

Can you adhere to unstated norms as a "Traitor" and still win with "honor"?

If you were going to remake
#TheLifeAndDeathOfColonelBlimp you might make every one of Deborah Kerr's characters an hullucination.

"Now here is the lake, and I still haven't changed."

"Total war"

I first heard that term as a little boy. My father was taking his army training and he did a paper on Total War. Concept first named by Prussian general Carl von Clausewitz in "On War" just after the Napoleonic Wars of 1815.

Man I just love Deborah Kerr. #TheLifeAndDeathOfColonelBlimp #TCMParty

WWI was really where that began.

Would you like to meet my driver who looks exactly like my wife who looks exactly like your wife? #TheLifeAndDeathOfColonelBlimp #TCMParty

This is another "under the radar" Oscar nom performance for Deborah Kerr. For one woman to play 3 women that are similar and yet different and all believable is brilliant

It’s interesting that her portrait is almost the only true color in that room. #TheLifeAndDeathOfColonelBlimp #TCMParty
