Our targets in Southern England are the following airfields.
Then right after the Nazi bomber catches on fire, a very contrary camera shot happens. Just to let everyone know, I myself am Jewish. Top speed was 350mph at 21,000 feet. Horrified he sees a trio of Spitfires moving in to attack head-on. Was this review helpful? You’d be in there fast enough if it was real! The English aren’t ordained by fate to be our enemies – you heard him.This time he’s wrong. This film portrays them as about as nobly as it does the British. 83 out of 104 found this helpful. Tadeusz Andruszkow’s name is inscribed on the Polish War Memorial in London, as well as appearing on the Battle of Britain Monument. Not every actor rises above cameo level, but Michael Caine is good, and I would follow Robert Shaw into the thick of any battle fought in human history. The characters are not deep or complex and there is little character development, but in a movie like this, it is not necessary. I like the fact about the bit of English snobbery concerning the foreign pilots that they were training even if some were as good or better than they were.This is a four star war movie obout Britains Finest Hour. When I found out that MGM were releasing this film on DVD, I was delighted followed by some irritation when I found out the RRP (£19.99), as the film was out in the US for $8. Also this is not like Cross of Iron that someone compared it to. So I tell the Cabinet that you’re trusting in radar and praying to God, is that right?Well I’d put it the other way round – trusting in God and praying for radar. Even if it hadn't been for the Holocaust, the 3rd Reich was still a rapacious force rolling across Europe spreading fascism far and wide. Large formations of enemy aircraft today attacked targets in southern England, but the enemy’s aerial armada came in for heavy punishment. As such it would be great if it could be restored to it’s original glory, BFI take note. I have found this a similar oddity for many excellent films of war. The Battle of Britain deserves it place in the great World War II films! Failed to Return (FTR) from providing air cover for an armoured column. Rabbit Leader to Cowslip Control, do you read me, over?For Christ’s sake, Cowslip, wake up, will you? Get moving! Only Tora Tora Tora is in this class. Naturally, most of the focus in the movie are on the British characters as it should be. I especially liked watching the Poles who relay this sense of 'payback' on the Germans now that they fly in excellent warplanes. All of the of events, both RAF and Luftwaffe, are portrayed in their proper sequence. They must go today.That doesn’t concern you. Three airworthy Hurricanes were used during the production of the film: MkIIc PZ865/G-AMAU, MkIIc LF363 and MkXII 5377/G-AWLW. Battle of Britain Synopsis: Historical reenactment of the air war in the early days of World War Two for control of the skies over Britain as the new Luftwaffe and the Royal Air Force determine whether or not an invasion can take place.
They care for each other. Well. Please try againSorry, we failed to record your vote. Other War movies that I loved are like this such as "Gettysburg", "Tora, Tora, Tora" and "The Enemy Below". Was this review helpful?
There is a pretty useless subplot involving a man and his wife, but other than that, this film is not to be missed by those who enjoy WWII history.
It was a biographical film in which as many stars of British cinema that were available got to play even bit parts.
In "The Battle of Britain" everything is realistic except for some special effects which is forgivable since this movie was made in 1969. The fabulous aerial sequences filmed from a converted B25 camera plane and from a cameraman harness-suspended from a helicopter have a visceral quality never matched by CGI; you can almost smell the aviation fuel and feel the prop-wash from these classic aircraft.Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 19, 2015 "Nobody is suggesting cowardice!!!!!!" There's something about watching Spitfires tipping-over and savaging Heinkel formations that just makes your stomach roll a little. (the remaining three planes take off) Right. It’s like a pigsty!Come on, you lot! SUNDAY, 5 MAY 1940, a little after two that afternoon. But the essential arithmetic is that our young men will have to shoot down their young men at the rate of four to one…if we’re to keep pace at all.It’s the oil pressure, sir, the gauge is being checked.He’s going to be one of your headaches now. The history is accurate but doesn't overwhelm the viewers. We’re not ready, we’re on our own, been playing for time – and it’s running out!I spend half-a-week settling her and the kids in the country and now I’m bored, she says.Well, I wouldn’t tell the CO that, sir, not if I were you.I’m terribly sorry about that, sir. This is one of the most underrated films ever. They see that combat against a non-pushover European is terrifying and they take no pleasure bombing cities full of civilians. No, no, no, seriously, Dowding.
Flood the cowling! Battle of Britain which depicts same owes a lot of its inspiration not only to The Longest Day, but to The Magic Box. So, what do I mean by that? A few additions: the officer with the burnt face DID get burnt in a hurricane, S. Bernard Fisj (spelling?) (I'm not sure which he flew, "Spit" or "Hurri".)
They couldn’t get in at Biggin.Well a few more days like this, and we won’t be able to get them down anywhere.I suppose we could always pull them all back north of the Thames, out of range…This is the BBC Home Service.
Bought this because I no longer have a VHS player. With what?David, we are not asking for anything.
