Synopsis

This wittily dramatic tale of Clive Candy, an old, befuddled soldier, is told in flashback from when he was a dashing young officer in the Boer War until his present "blimpish" state in the Home Guard during World War II. Though in many ways a figure of fun whose character is a satire on outmoded, stuck-in-the-mud Britishness, Candy also symbolises humanity and decency, seen through his various romances and a lasting friendship with a German soldier - something seen as very controversial at the time the film was made.

What our educators say

"It really is a chance for us to open children's minds to the power of film not just as a vehicle for entertainment but also as a way in to understanding their own world and the worlds of people whose lives are very different."

- Marlon Perkins, Teacher, Whitstable and Seasalter Endowed CofE Junior School, Kent
