Somewhat linear and very dated now, but the story of persistence and dedication - not to mention patriotism, still shines through
Yes good portrayal of these events in WWII but to be fair a lot of the acting was fairly poor (even for the 50's), special effects were rubbish (but they couldn't help that)
New one coming out i recon will be one to watch, even if it is PC (just imagine that they call the dog nig...( read more)
An excellent tale of heroism during the dark days of world was 2. The acting may be slightly stilted at times, and the special effects not quite there, but for a film made in 1953-54 it is excellent. I would not watch a politically correct remake.
A patriotic true story of British exploits during WWII. Fantastic performances from the whole cast, unforgettable theme music, a gripping climax, and a heartbreaking final scene with Richard Todd. Stirring stuff!
excellent film even if it is in black and white. great tribute to the war and the people that were lost at war.
This movie shows Britain's resilience and their determination to overcome German domination. It has a great story based on actual WW2 events, good classic cast also.
A really ripping tale of british ingenuity during the war. some excellent newsreel footage really spices things up. great miniatures too.
ok so George Lucas is a thieving weasel of a man this classic takes its time warming up but once you understand the pressures of what has to happen it still captivates you with the feeling of hope towards the end that the mission will be a sucess!
