Death By Moonlight

Wow. Thanks for the links Rob. It sounds pretty bad. Odd that you can still buy it on DVD after all that!

Just as an additional note, Dave,

Ah, ok, I won’t bother putting it on my shopping list then. Thanks chaps.

Ou of interest – or desire for more custard in James’s terms – did the Canadian flying Lancaster appear in it?

I think it did. I think the serial number and codes were altered to make it look more generic (or less like the Mynarski Lancaster) but I think there were some shots of people getting in and out of it. There is an article about it somewhere. I thought the film was older than 1992 but that’s just my memory playing tricks again.

My favourite Canadian wartime film is one of the “Lassie” series. The plot, unsuprisingly, is a load of codswallop but the colour footage of Bolingbrokes is superb.

I just found this title on IMDb, “Death By Moonlight”

It is a Canadian TV film or drama-documentary about Bomber Command it seems. Has anyone seen this? Is it recommended?

There was a dickens of a fuss about it in the UK when it appeared – JDK has it absolutely right. I wouldn’t recommend it at all.

Ow!

***Dons tin hat.***

The short polite description, Dave, would be nasty Canadian TV hatchet job on Harris & Bomber Command. I think they were taken to court by veterans in the end.

Do you spend all your time cheerfully up to your neck in the custard? 😀
