“Colonel Blimp,” 1968

Time Period: 1968

Communications with Japanese colleagues were facilitated by non-verbal devices, such as pulling coins from the ears of children. Henry Blackburn plays “Colonel Blimp” in 1968 with a child of one of his Japanese colleagues, while Professors Nakagawa, Horibe, and Okajima, former Fellows at the Univ. of Minnesota, look on.
