General Clive Wynne-Candy is a blustering old duffer who seems the epitome of stuffy, outmoded values. But forty years ago he was a different man altogether: the young and dashing officer "Sugar" Candy. Through a series of affecting relationships with three women and his touching lifelong friendship with a German officer, Candy`s life unfolds as it becomes more difficult for him to adapt his sense of military honor to modern notions of "total war."
