Details
A much-loved British classic, Michael Anderson`s 1954 drama captures the
tension and bravery of an audacious raid on the centre of Nazi Germany`s
industrial complex, and the quintessentially English combination of
inventiveness and dogged determination.
Split into two distinct sections, the film deals 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 Brickhill`s 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 Britain`s
biggest box-office success of 1955. Shot in black and white to allow the
integration of original footage of the bomb trails, the film boasts a `gritty`,
documentary-style reality.
