Editorial Review:

Amazon.com:
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

The TV picture was awesome. Lots of action with great action. What also really impressed me was the sound, If you are a World War II movie fan, then this is a must addition to your library.
I purchased this picture as a gift for my son who lives and works in Thailand. I was concerned that it wouldn't play on his Play Station 3 Japanese unit. FYI it worked just fine.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Good Copy
Nice reproduction. It was originally filmed in great quality. Not real sure if the Blue-ray version is that much better. I viewed it on a 720p 42" LCD. But the price made it worth it.



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - What happened to thr rest of the movie??
Great movie and superb acting. The aircraft used was unbelieveable. The instrumental. "Aces High" was the best modern march I have ever heard. It would have been very popular back in Germany during its time. In Europe it is also known as the "Luftwaffe March".
But what happened to the rest of the movie?? There should have been atleast 20 minutes more as in the movie theaters when it first came out. Very dissaapointing especially when DVD companies seem to do this on a regular basis with movies. ... Read More

Dear Amazon:
The Blu-Ray "Battle of Britain".............is so clear and superb quality. Viewing the movie in the Blu-Ray format makes this part of history more profound. A history of WW II lover's delight for enjoyable viewing coupled with great audio quality.

Sincerely,

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Best of the Best
Buyer beware! All the war movies get good ratings. Some are trash. This is phenominal. The best air battle scenes ever, combined with great writing. P.S. I DON'T want to know how they did it......I hate that. Ignorance is bliss.
