Even though the DVD was not new, it was in excellent condition, as the seller said. WE think... This is the best Movie ever made about Aircraft bombers during World War II. The acting of Gregory Peck and others make this a true American Classic. Many lessons about war and how our humanity deal with war is delt with in epic proportions. What a great movie.
Definately belongs in a DVD video collection but note that this is the 2001 issue of the older film. I'd suggest that adults review the film before allowing their small children to see it but I personally don't see a problem, it's just directed toward an adult audience. It's interesting, now that I live in Germany, to see the targets mentioned in this movie and the absolute devastation created by these raids in spite of heavy ground and air defences. Romanticized ideas intermixed with stark realism makes this a unique movie about WWII air warfare over Europe. Many of the actors were veterans of WWII which adds to this movies credibility. Outstanding actual air warfare footage is used which historians and militaria collectors appreciate. Probably one of the best films on this topic available.
