Decades after I first saw this movie, it still gives me chills.
The music. The actors. REAL aircraft, not CGI.
Phenomenal efforts to tell the story with as much accuracy as any movie can permit.
The actors were all too old, and the tiny models looked so fake.
The film is not at all accurate, as Galland and many others confirmed.
Ignore Mark... He knows utterly next to nothing about reality and instead substitutes his own "reality".
CGI never gets close even to a good made model...
@@walterkronkitesleftshoe6684 Thanks! I find your comments and replies on all the best videos.
@@walterkronkitesleftshoe6684 Saltzman had funded Lehi and the Irgun.
I've watched the movie countless times, but have never seen the trailer.
Thank you.
This film the Battle of Britain needs a thorough 4K Restoration and be shown again in U.K. cinemas like they did with The Great Escape a few years ago
So if there is anybody at MGM UA reading this ,there are 9000 of us on a certain site dedicated to the making of the film who would love to see this happen . Crowdfunding has even been discussed which just goes to show how much support there would be too
Wouldn’t it be nice to get that internegative out of the archives ( the one with Maurice Binders titles ) , restore each frame and then give it the remastered BLURAY Stereo soundtrack with any 4K release given the deluxe treatment of being able to see the film either with Ron Goodwins film score and/or Sir William Waltons in its entirety.
Give us the chance to see this film on the big screen again for new generations to see. The tv screenings don’t do it justice .
Is it not Park Circus In the U.K. who handle these film distributors restorations and has not Amazon taken over the MGM/UA catalogue ?
Surely there must be some finance around to undertake this 4K restoration rather than go the crowdfunding route. . I did hear that it could cost up to £50k to do a restoration for a 2 hr long film and that’s a mere drop in the ocean .
As most of the aerial shots were filmed in 70mm , I just wonder what this film would look like today on an IMAX screen which would be quite something as the film was released in the super Panavision process.
After all, if it wasn’t for the Battle of Britain film , all the restored original planes we now see at air displays today , simply would not exist . It set the ball rolling for restorations worldwide so it’s importance as a film can never be underestimated
It would flop even worse than it did in 1969.
I saw this in 1969. It was the reason I joined the RAF
Interesting to note that Sir William Waltons score was used in the trailer so this must have been finalised a few months before the premiere in September 1969. Then Waltons score was rejected and all the stops were pulled out to get Ron Goodwins score which he managed to do in three weeks but WHAT A SCORE !!!
Goodwins quintessentially british Spitfire and teutonic german themes showed absolute brilliance in their composition and are played at RAF events and at Remembrance services every year.
Although Waltons score was regal and Henry V in concept it didn’t quite match with the visuals although to pacify Sir Laurence Olivier ( who suggested he compose the score and who threatened to take his name off the credits when he found that Goodwins score replaced it) agreed that ten minutes of Waltons score was used near the end for the 8 minute Battle in the Air sequence and his regal music used in the end credits music b4 segueing to Goodwins.
When the film got a national release through the Odeon and Gaumont cinema circuit on September 13th 1970 to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the Battle , what was on screen was incredible to watch .
A magnificent piece of film making and as mentioned in a previous post on here deserves a restoration in 4K so we can all see it again on the big screen
Yes. It’s what struck me when clicking to view this. What about all the iconic music? They made the best decisions in the end. The battle in the air sequence with the Walton music could almost be an equivalent of what Christopher Nolan aimed for in Dunkirk. It conveys the feel of the battle and its terrifying disorientation to the viewer, in both cinematography and score. The Goodwin score outside of that fits the overall picture. (Loved being taken as a kid to a few of Goodwin’s own concerts in the 70s to hear all his classic scores).
Was taken to see this brilliant film when I was about 8 or 9 .I cannot believe this film was made nearly 55 years ago!
R.I.P. Christopher Plummer
I been watching this since my childhood
Great film, I’ve watched it many times. Sir Laurence Olivier makes a wonderful Dowding.
A great movie capturing a great period of time.
When movies were movies and when actors where great actors.
Totally agree
Amen to that.
Classic film with classic actors
Great cast ,great musical score I've watched it quite a few times.
One of my favourite films of all time and one of the reasons I got into WW2 history, model making, visiting sites etc as a kid and continue to do so.
Top 3 best movies ever.
Awesomeness
Lest we forget!
Thanks for posting and the amazing people that maid that film 🎥 🥳👏👏
The modern David is now Ukrainian...
Amazing video. :D
Excellent movie ! 🙂👍
AWESOME MOVIE.
Remembering Sailor Malan, Petrus Hugo and JJ le Roux from South Africa. Boere spitfire pilots who helped save England. What a strange world we live in
Don't you dare undermine what our British pilots did in the Battle.
@@cpj93070 : nope. They’re all hero’s mate. Even the German pilots are hero’s. But don’t forget the help you got from Australia, Canada, Poland, South Africa. Read up on Sailor Malan and his 10 tactics which the RAF adopted during the BOB.
@@guyreid8692 They're NOT forgotten.. None of them. But also don't forget to mention the +80% of Fighter Command pilots who were of British birth.
@@cpj93070 grow up!
Heroes forever more ❤❤❤
A Classic from my Youth.
My favorite story in the History of WWII.
Good show
practical effects rule in this movie. The only place i'd apply cgi is to make those HA-1112s into proper Messerschmitts
- and to improve the flames and explosions animated over the planes in the air. - and to remove the 1960s tower housing blocks visible below in the bombing of London scenes. - and maybe have Susan George's 1960s hair altered, and so many more.
- but not the rectangular white plastic doorbell button seen in close-up, as it was a Bauhaus design from the 1930s and would have been easily available in Britain at that time.

@@stevetheduck1425 We await your cinematic masterpiece with bated breath.
Ireland intensifying
Liked the star studded cast in this movie.
One of the effective paper backs on this
hinge point in history is Robert Wright’s
illustrated paper back “Dowding and
the Battle of Britain”,a Corgi
publication first published
in 1969.
Assisti em um cinema aqui no Brasil durante os anos 70 esse filme sobre a segunda guerra mundial.Aqui o título do filme era "A BATALHA DA GRAN BRETANHA".Muito bom!
Fico contente por ver que ainda estão a assistir 50 anos depois. Felicidades para si no Brasil, daqui do Reino Unido.
even pitted against modern classics of WW2 using CGI , the Battle of Britain film/movie can still hold its own
This dreadful film was a huge flop because it was so bad in every way.
Where can i find the movie on YT ?❤❤❤
Ojalá haya una nueva versión de ess emblemática película. Así como Pearl Harbor y Midway.
Woah how did they managed to make this without CG??
They filmed it in Spain, using Franco's airforce which was still using the old Heinkel 111s used by the Luftwaffe in WW2. I think the film company bought all available planes that could fly or move on the ground and it was said at that time it was something like the 7th biggest air force in the world!! To film it amongst the planes they equipped an old American bomber, think it was maybe a Liberator but I could be wrong, equipped with cameras in the old gun positions and they flew it around amongst the arial manoeuvres.
@@tonyroberts5068 They used a B-25 as a camera platform, one of the camera platforms was literally outside the airplane, the camera operator was strapped onto the platform, so as to be able to get maximum movement of the camera.
@@petertrznadel8107 ahh a Mitchell. Thanks, I knew it was a Yank bomber but wasn't sure which one.
I don't think there were any German Stuka's available so i believe they used models for there flight scenes. But what a brilliant film..when i went with the family to see this at our local cinema they had a fantastic model diorama set out in the foyer...needless to say me and my brothers had Airfix Spitfires and Hurricanes within the week.
And -they managed to film all the air battles without any casualties!
(I believe there was one loss of life ferrying a plane)
Correct..one of the Spanish HA-1112 Bouchons (used to represent the 109s) was lost.....
istill wonder , where they got al these planes from? in 1969 there was no cumouter animation.
show the whole movie
I went to the pictures and watched it 5 times when I was a boy, and again every time it was on TV. Someone should definitely make an updated movie of the Battle of Britain, Spielberg comes to mind, a great movie with an all-star cast.
This movie can't be improved upon.
A remake would involve Idris Elba playing Dowding.
Plus a subplot about a transgender person seeking acceptance within an uncaring homophobic RAF.
Looking at Britain today I get the feeling these brave men wasted their time😠
Just think what they could do if they did this again today with CGI, without having to use camera trickly .
4k release now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Я смотрела этот фильм! Артисты известные играют очень хорошо! Прекрасно сняты воздушные сцены боя, но сама по себе любая Война просто ужас и противоестественно для людей!!! Если бы гибли только зачинщики её,то это бы и ладно, но гибель ни в чем не повинных людей вызывает протест!!! 🌹🌹🌹
"I know I have the body of a weak and feeble woman,👩 but I have the heart,❤ and stomach of a king,👑 and of a king,🤴 of England,🏴 too!"

The film itself is so much better than this trailer.
can't believe they spoiled the ending in the trailer smdh
Was that the first use of the term "weapon of mass destruction"?
When the Corporate globalists wanted to put "their man" in place in Iraq.
A good whack of of the RAF at this point were Canadian.
Canada should have remained neutral, like Ireland.
Are these Spitfire s...

Can Holloywood n London studios make a remake of Battle of Britain this time showing Dorniers Ju 88s Bf 110 other than just Heinkels Stukas n Me 109 of the Luftwaffe
Don’t give them ideas it would be how the US won it like the joke of Pearl Harbour film. What it needs if it were possible is full restoration and a few flying sequences added with top quality models or top quality CGI of some Ju 88s, Do 17s, Bf 110s and maybe some Defiants and ideally to cut Susannah York out completely. Then it would be perfect.
Cameron Highlands is now belong to Empire Communists, so no tea lipton for England, Malaysia sudah kiamat
It a good movie but do a remake
Not possible to improve on this classic.
This is why Europe is Islamic today.
この映画は素敵な作品ですが、イギリス空軍にも問題が有った事に触れていません。スピットファイアも航続距離が短く、燃料搭載量を気にしながら戦闘を繰り返していた事です。離着陸は飛行機に取って無警戒な時間帯ですから狙い撃ちに成ります。
More looking back to the past. Tories trying to distract you from what’s going on today.
Yes, curse those dastardly Tories forcing MGM to release this trailer in order to distract people 🙄
There is a lot of filmic exaggeration here. The impossible was not achieved. A victory was achieved, but not against insuperable odds, otherwise it would have been lost.
The numbers aren’t accurate- was about 2-1 ( but in contact less due to travel distance). Also the Germans lost it by switching to civilian targets. Still brilliant by Britain 🇬🇧 in standing to defend the free world
This film was so awful, which is why it was such a huge flop all over the world.
