battle of britain
Pros: Everything
Cons: nothing
This movie is a very accurate depiction of one of the most importants events of wwII.The story is believable,the characters ring true and the flying sequences are spectacular.I have seen this movie many times and it always enthralls, entertains and reminds me of how easily the outcome of the war could have been different. ...

NOT HER BEST WORK.
Jonie has a lovely style & voice, but it's a small voice & it needs help.This was recorded with a small group and comes out rather small & flat.Having heard her with a large band, this was a come down.Joanies recordings are hard to find,so it's worth keeping. ... -

disapointing.
except for the first track,"this is an orchestra" I didn't like this album at all. The reproduction is flawed and frankly the arrangements sound pretentious.For a Kenton fan this was very disappointing. ... -

WWII germans as human beings
I don't know how they did it,but they vey believably, recreated a war voyage of a U boat.My only problem with this film, was representing almost the whole crew as being anti nazi.That is fiction.Many members of Kriegsmarine elite (Uboat crews)were very supportive of the fuhrer.All the same they were a brave & worthy adversary.Das Boot clearly shows that ;very entertaining. ... -

could have been good
With a little bit of editing could have be en a 4 star movie.Eliminate all off the surreal dream sequences & then you have a pretty good movie.Production values outstanding. ... -

outstanding war movie,in none better
Not many movies made me cry.This one did.Outstanding scipt,casting & effects.Very accurate, even tanks were quite realistic looking.Technical advisor did make one boo-boo.After the battle at the end, American tanks seen, look like M18 tank destroyers.These were not in theatre until Sep 44. This is to the best of my information. ...
