I've loved this movie for a long time and have given it 5 out of 5 stars. My only complaint is that the DVD itself is a horrible transfer. The quality is among the worst I've ever seen on a DVD. It literally looks like it was taken from a TV broadcast and slapped on a DVD.
I can only hope that Warner Brothers does a remastered version in the future so I can buy it.Nein! We Think You're Trying To Escape! - abstain13
I first saw this years ago as a pre-teen when it aired in theatres and it has stayed with me ever since. If Saving Pivate Ryan is THE movie about WWII ground forces, this is THE movie about the air forces.
The story is a true one, about a bomber and her crew, about to fly their 25th and final mission after which they will be honorably discharged and allowed to return home - their would become the first crew to do so... should they survive one last bombing run over Nazi Germany.
The acting is top notch and the story is great. The cinematography is first class and I must add that I really have nothing negative to say of this film. I love it. I always have.
This film also made me seek outand become a fan of W.B Yeats, the author of the poem that is patially read before take off.
