The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp. Good movie. I've always enjoyed Roger Livesey. Another one he's in is Futtock's End, a goofy comedy with Ronnie Barker, Michael Hordern, and others. It's the sort of thing you might expect to find Ronnie Barker in. There is no actual dialogue, but lots of grunts, incoherent mumblings, and sound effects.

Roger Livesey plays an artist attempting to paint landscapes and what he's attempting to paint keeps moving on him. He looks, then concentrates on the canvas for a few moments, and when he looks again, the landscape has changed. You see what's going on, but he is totally bewildered.

Also, I understand that Livesey, in his mid-sixties at the time, insisted on doing his own stunts, like getting ejected from the grossly overloaded back seat of a car when the door is opened and landing on his back.

Michael Hordern plays a lecherous butler.

IB, hunker down, rest up, have a few good laughs (very therapeutic), and get well soon.
