Excellent account of the true story of British World War Two fighter ace Douglas Bader, who overcame the loss of both legs in an airplane crash to rise to the rank of Wing Commander in the RAF. I had never seen this film before, although when I was in high school I did read Douglas Bader's autobiography, so I knew something about his life. My mother, being a veteran, spoke of him a number of times when she told me about her experiences in the Battle of Britain. He was considered a great war hero. This is probably actor Kenneth More's finest role, and he does full justice to the man who he portrays in the film.

Plus - a great story of possible the greatest Briton of all time; excellent aerial battle sequences; brilliant acting from More. Minus - doesn't do full justice to Bader's indomitable will to survive and to win. Worth a watch.

This is a remarkable true story of Douglas Bader,a pilot who is severly injured after a devastating plane crash. Despite losing both legs in the crash Douglas demonstrates a determination which sees him re-enter the RAF and attempt to continue his career as a pilot.

An inspiring subject, somewhat disappointingly realised.

Got the DVD..watched it before, but watched it again on Sunday afternoon...fire lit, cup of tea and a packet of rich tea....bliss. Kenneth More was brill and I love all that stiff upper lip stuff and wonderful accents.
