Battle of Britain description There's something about this film that's so irresistible, despite its grandiose manipulation. Maybe because it recounts the greatest air battle in history, achieving the greatest aerial battle in film history. Maybe because it has such a terrific cast (Harry Andrews, Michael Caine, Trevor Howard, Curt Jurgens, Laurence Olivier, Nigel Patrick, Christopher Plummer, Michael Redgrave, Ralph Richardson, Robert Shaw, Patrick Wymark, and Edward Fox). Maybe because it's so technically well-made, thanks to the Bond team of producer Harry Saltzman and director Guy Hamilton and the great cinematographer Freddie Young. Or maybe because there is something truly riveting about watching the British kick the Nazis back to Germany. --Bill Desowitz |

| ♥♥♥♥♥ | Great, but it misses "the greatest" mark. |
| Much attention to detail, such as the great war-planes, and the strategy. But it misses the "time-stamp". You are left wondering what time-span is represented through the movie.
Also, some significant events, such as Dunkirk, are only briefly mention or shown, causing the viewer to miss it's significance. If you research the battle of England at your own, you will understand and enjoy the movie much more. In perspective, it is a great movie that misses the opportunity to be the greatest war-movie. |
