In the spring of 1944 an RAF Mosquito Squadron are ordered to attack a German rocket fuel plant in Norway. The mission involves flying up a heavily defended fjord and bombing a cliff overhang in an attempt to bury the factory, which is built into the rock. I bought this on DVD in a 3 for ￡20 offer, as I had fond memories of it from childhood, and it had been around 20 years since I last remember seeing it. I have to say that its not nearly as good as I remembered it to be. The plot is full of cliches and theres the inevitable love interest for the lead. That said, there are points to recommend it. Cliff Robertson gives another reliable performance as the Wing Commander in charge of the squadron, and there are equally dependable turns from Harry Andrews and Donald Houston. The numerous flying sequences with the Mosquito Bombers are expertly filmed, and its a real bonus to finally see the film in its correct 2.35:1 aspect ratio. The special effects arent bad for 1964, and Ron Goodwins famous score underpins the whole venture. The main problem that I have with the film is that it borrows heavily from The Dam Busters in terms of plot, without ever scaling the heights (no pun intended) of that classic. It may have lush Panavision photography, better effects etc., but lacks the nail biting tension and expertly constructed drama of its predecessor. However, its perfectly acceptable entertainment, if somewhat abrupt at the end. Was the above comment useful to you?
