DVD Reviews of Battle of Britain (Collector's Edition)
DVD Review: You Are There!!
Summary: 5 Stars
If any movie ever benefitted from the appearance of new technology, this one is it. The appearance of Blu Ray high definition formatting makes this movie come alive on the screen. It's almost impossible to remember that this movie was originally shot in 1969, when watching the Hurricanes, Spitfires, Messershmitts and Heinkels roar across the sky in spectacular detail. The original photography done in panavision wide screen must have done a creditable job in presenting this epoch in theaters, but on a wide screen HDTV, in super sharp detail, the film is simply breathtaking. The incredible vistas over the English countryside in ultrarealistic battle scenes are worth the price.
The original cinematographers deserve additional plaudits for the marvelous air battle scenes, that now come alive in Blu Ray.
This movie will be a natural for conversion to the new 3D format.
DVD Review: Wonderful WW II movie.

Description of Battle of Britain (Collector's Edition)
Featuring a "big stellar cast" (Variety), including Michael Caine, Trevor Howard, Laurence Olivier, Christopher Plummer, Michael Redgrave, Robert Shaw, Susannah York and Edward Fox, Battle of Britain is a spectacular retelling of a true story that shows courage at its inspiring best. Few defining moments can change the outcome of war. But when the outnumbered Royal Air Force defied insurmountable odds in engaging the German Luftwaffe, it may well have altered the course of history!There's something about this film that's so irresistible, despite its grandiose manipulation. Maybe because it recounts the greatest air battle in history, achieving the greatest aerial battle in film history. Maybe because it has such a terrific cast (Harry Andrews, Michael Caine, Trevor Howard, Curt Jurgens, Laurence Olivier, Nigel Patrick, Christopher Plummer, Michael Redgrave, Ralph Richardson, Robert Shaw, Patrick Wymark, and Edward Fox). Maybe because it's so technically well-made, thanks to the Bond team of producer Harry Saltzman and director Guy Hamilton and the great cinematographer Freddie Young. Or maybe because there is something truly riveting about watching the British kick the Nazis back to Germany. --Bill Desowitz
