Customer Reviews of The Dam Busters
Excellent and inspirational Despite my political (nonviolent) beliefs, I nonetheless consider this film to be an outstanding example of sheer accomplishment in the face of political bickering and developmental setbacks. The emotional and intellectual struggle of engineering new concepts is well documented, as well as the human hardships of actual implementation. Uncertainty, agony, triumph, and grief all shine through. The scenes concerning the dog seem to me a bit gratuitous, but I can understand the studio pressure for a sympathetic touch (in lieu of romantic interest).
Technologically, I'm intrigued by the combination of aerial photography, modelling, and animation in the production. Not at all bad for what must have been an awfully small budget.
I wonder if Ayn Rand saw this picture.
DVD please!?
Amazing History
This story has been a favorite of mine since I first saw the movie on TV in the 50's. I've since researched this event and am pleased to say that the movie is extremely accurate with few exceptions for dramatic license. The attack and destruction of two of the great dams of the industrial Ruhr Valley in Germany during World War Two is beautifully filmed, even in black & white. The special effects during the attack are hair-raising, even by today's standards. The details of how the special bombs used, and the technique to use them were developed move the story along nicely culminating with the intense attacks and the bitterswet aftermath- aircrew and bomber losses were over 40%. The musical score compliments the action very well and the "Dam Buster March" is a tune that can be whisteled all day long. This movie is a stirring tribute to Wing Commander Guy Gibson who led the raid, his courageous squadron, and Barnes Wallace, the genius who developed the bombs. For sheer daring, courage, and determination, this movie ranks tops along with "The Great Escape" and "Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo". A note to those who have seen the TV version- the video is unedited from the original and Guy Gibson's dog's name was NOT Trigger.
Great War Movie!!
In this movie starring Micheal Redgrave and Richard Todd is a great WW2 movie about how effectively the British bombed the Dams of Germany.It's a must see film!!
