I know that hyperboles are easy to throw around on these reviews, but I think that this film conveys the waiting and hoping of people back at home while the aircrews are on a mission better than anything else I've seen.
John Mills is fantastic, as are all the actors and actresses in the film. This film is one I always try to see when its on the TV, even though I own it. I've shed a tear at it more than once.
A Genuine Classic.

Halliwell's guide description of "comedy drama" is misleading. There is much in the film that raises a smile (particularly the cameo performance of Stanley Holloway) but this is humour as a reflection of life rather than 'comedy'. The film centres on the life of aircrew - both RAF and US - but there is virtually no 'action'. This absence does not in any way inhibit the film's capacity to convey the tensions and numbing ferocity of the routine death-toll of active service in daylight bombers. Some noteworthy early film appearances of Trevor Howard, David Tomlinson and Bill Owen's debut (then known as Bill Rowbotham). Those who know say the period is captured perfectly. A film that will stand many viewings and well worth acquiring at budget price on DVD.

I enjoy this video.I already knew of the film so wanted to own the video so that I could enjoy it again -and again.
I like a film with a good story line and with true romance too and this has both.

A bit soapy, but inventive and emotional
Sappy, melodramatic and dated at times, but also very well done, and emotionally
understated enough that the sappiness doesn't take over the experience. Read more
