3 stars (Good Enough) With such a rousing musical accompaniment the dam busters had to succeed & it could be forgiven for being used as a final farewell as Richard Todd walks into the sunset. An intelligent low key film that gives equal coverage to what preceded the raid. ~Tubbs
5 stars (Exceptional) The World War II film you think is cliched until you realise it created the cliches: Clever man designs bomb, pilots train, most die in gripping finale. It's surprisingly un-jingoistic. Richard Todd had really written those letters at the end. It shows. ~Tony B
