My fav film of all time. I was an 8 year old when it came out and i was into ww2 and aircraft big time. I watch the film 2 or 3 times a year. Is it out on Bluray yet i wonder?
The version I have has got an alternative musical score. Oh dear! The opening sequence with the Heinkels does nothing for me with THAT music.
And some of the acting leaves a lot to be desired too. Watch out for the man answering the phone at dispersal then leaning out the window to say ‘tea’s up’. He should have been shot at dawn for that piece of acting.
And when Susannah York is introduced to the pilot who had bad burns to his face he said, very woodernly, that he had ‘had an escapade with a Hurricane’
So many great lines from the film though.
Ok. Who said these lines and when in the film?
“Get that bowser out the way. We’ll go with what we’ve got“.
“Do you know, I actually lost my temper with him“.
“Where the hell are you Simon?”
And another memory for those of my age. Do you remember the postcards from the film you could buy and then stick them into the photo album they also sold? I lost mine many years ago but recently got one from Ebay but missing one postcard.
What memories. What a classic film. I guess I am older and more cynical these days but I will keep on watching this film.
