Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Chocks away, Smithy. Maudlin, overlong, hero-worshipping stuff, with More waddling pathetically around on artificial legs impersonating Douglas Bader, symbol of everything stiff-upper-lipped and jolly good show about Britain and the RAF boys during the war. If you haven't seen this, you're probably the saner for it.Author: GA
