Title:
Dam Busters
Synopsis:
A much-loved British classic, Michael Andersons 1954 drama captures the tension and bravery of an audacious raid on the centre of Nazi Germanys industrial complex, and the quintessentially English combination of inventiveness and dogged determination. Split into two distinct sections, the film deals first with the fraught, but ultimately successful development of a new weapon by Dr. Barnes N. Wallis (Michael Redgrave). The second and pacier section deals with the mission itself during the British raid on the Ruhr Dams, and its associated costs for the enemy and for the British airmen.
Adapted by R.C. Sherriff from Paul Brickhills book Enemy Coast Ahead and featuring superlative special effects photography by Gilbert Taylor (to say nothing of Eric Coates stirring theme tune), The Dam Busters was Britains biggest box-office success of 1955. Shot in black and white to allow the integration of original footage of the bomb trials, the film boasts a gritty, documentary-style reality.
