DVD Description
War has always provided a rich seam of inspiration for film-makers, but the advent of World War II lent a patriotic imperative to the genre and brought an even greater number of war movies to the screen on both sides of the Atlantic. From the battle for the skies to struggles on the home front and in the desert, films such as The Dam Busters and Ice Cold In Alex dramatise all aspects of the conflict and its effect on human relationships. Featuring great performances from John Mills, Richard Attenborough, David Niven in films from directors as diverse as David Lean, Carol Reed and Sam Peckinpah, these 12 classic movies are tales of survival, heroism and endurance against all odds.

Simply a great collection of War Films. All black and white and represent great time pieces. All the film legends are involved somewhere....John Mills, Richard Todd, Kenneth Moore etc. It is your duty as watching officers not to escape this collection!
I grew up watching these films on Sunday afternoons with my Dad. Great viewing then and great now.

Excellent value and as I already own some of the items that make up this package it still made it a very good set being well worth the price

This has to be the best BRITISH war film boxset on the market,(not too sure about "Cross of Iron" which is the only one I haven't watched so far, could it be because it is the only American tale in the pack?) Still, eleven out of ten is still a good collection.
Whatever happened to all the other BRITISH war films that never get put into boxsets such as "Danger Within" "A Hill In Korea" plus many more?.
