The R.A.F. wings and medal bar are worn on the left breast, not the right!
My favourite film of all time. Even those who aren't into war films will get a lot out of it and find a lump in their throat at the end. Fans of RAF/war films will find plenty of period/procedural detail (and if you're like me, plenty of phrases with which to drive one's family mad!) Not a blood and guts film, and all the better and more profound for that.
As is often the case with older movies, there are no 'deleted scenes' or 'directors' commentary'. However, whilst some background might have been interesting, the film stands tall on its own and doesn't need any hype. Definitely one you'll watch over and over.
I love the British black and white war movies, Dambusters, Wooden Horse, etc and this is another classic. Angels One Five is set during the Battle of Britain and follows the arrival of a new pilot at a squadron.
Mixing the grim realties of war with the whit and humour that I love about these films, and with classic lines such as:
" They've really caught us with both pairs of trousers at the cleaners this time!"
Its a must have for your B&W WW2 collection.
