Battle of Britain

Director: Guy Hamilton
Year Released: 1969
Rating: 0.0

There is little "meat" to this "historical recreation" - when planes aren't dipsy-doing in mid-air, British gents are on the ground, looking most serious. The characters are all one-dimensional and forgettable - there are a lot of them - and whenever there's too much talking, for example, they cut to more aerial shots. Hasn't Hamilton seen Wings? Why don't they have subtitles for the Krauts, who converse quite a bit (I'm guessing what the enemy has to say isn't that important)? Spoiler: Germany loses. Now go read a history book.
