Dennis N. @MrTimothyGooch Jan 18 Solid war film all around, good dog fight scenes. Dated special effects. See more Daniel L @RT24087858 Oct 24 Classic war movie. Loved this as a kid but struggled to get into it as an adult. Long and dull in some parts but still worth a watch. Feels every bit of its 56 years of age so would love to see a remake.

See more John R @RT62072406 11/08/2024 Certainly it wasn't "as it was", but some of the reviews are laughable. This film is a good starter for learning what war, and particularly the battle to stop Germany invading the UK, was all about, with little glorification and many of the horrors of warfare. The soundtrack is also very good and the "battle in the air" track exceptional. Yes, it was what was, at the time, an all start cast but that only promotes how important was the movie. For those who seemed incapable of discerning between Luftwaffe and RAF uniforms and aeroplanes, a little background reading wouldn't go amiss. After all, you only really need to look at the pictures, which should be within your scope of abilities. See more CodyZamboni Z @CodyZamboni 09/07/2024 Watchable WW2 tale. The control of the English Channel skies is waged, As told from British and German sides, Top caliber cast seems bored, The air battles are confusingly edited, Except for one, The final one, It contains hardly any dialogue or sound fx, Just a stirring, exciting orchestral score playing, The music makes the scene work, Other major demerits, movie's overlength , And the unnecessary subplot of a love affair between Christopher Plummer and Susannah York, See more Gerald D @gdaviso 08/04/2024 Utterly dreadful, boring movie. The airplane sequences were sometimes exciting but much of the time it wasn’t even clear whether it was the Germans or the British/allies. Very thin plot, poor continuity. A waste of some A-1 talent like Laurence Olivier and Michael Caine. The worst movie I have seen in years. See more Read all reviews
