- Excellent half of a classic double bill
I went to see this with my friend and his older brother when I was about 12 years old. The local RAF base had sponsored a double bill of this with 'Reach for the sky'. It was a brilliant night out, to see two brilliant films. In 'real life' I have little time for the armed forces, but in film this is unbeatable.

I also remember swallowing a murray mint whole, during the film. Luckily it went down without me having to require medical assistance, but I still remember the sore throat.

- 633 Squadron
I read the previous reviews but thought I would try it for myself.

I have just watched it all the way through and thought it was absolutely awful.

I wouldn't buy it and certainly would not watch it again.

Rating:

- Suicide mission
Although the special effects are disappointing by todays standards, this is still a great film. It sticks closely to the book by Frederick E Smith and is worth watching. Its only a shame that the producers got an American, Cliff Robertson, to play the lead, but I suppose if it is to have any viewers in USA there has to be an American somewhere. Great action sequences and a great score.

Rating:

- For Mosquito Lovers Everywhere
It's a pretty naff film (even for its era). The model and special effects were pretty poor - even then.

The HUGE plus for warbird afficandos are the last three airworthy Mosquitos roaring across the screen. It was the last time - and now at time of writing (Nov 2004) there are no airworthy Mossies - so the film records their wooden wonder passing.

Ron Goodwin's stirring "633 Squadron March" is a gem to go with the flying sequences.

- Dig the Mosquito!!
This was one of my fave films ever when I was 11, along with the Dambusters and Battle of Britain. I didn't notice the fairly naff special effects or at times bad acting, but I was taken with the Mosquito and the the ending where 633 Squadron fly up the fjord and try to blow up the V2 rocket fuel factory.

Seeing it 10 years later, I still very much enjoy it, but notice the faults (the naff effects etc) but it doesn't take away from a very enjoyable film. The parts where they discuss the mission and train for it are all well done, and the flying scenes (apart from the dodgy models) are well done. The parts with the squadron leader and the resistance cell's leader's sister are pretty bad though.

I'd definately recommend ... Read More:
