Another great example of how British filmmakers of the post-WW2 years knew just how to make the perfect movie to both entertain and inform the viewer. By any standards Douglas Bader was a no-nonsense real life hero and we are richly treated here to the man's character and determination. Kenneth More is perfect in the main role, with all the other parts also well played by tried and trusted 50's actors. A special mention must also go to the beautiful Muriel Pavlow as Bader's wife, the perfect blend of beauty, sympathy and strength. One of my top 10 favourite all-time films - just wonderful.
score 10/10
