A Classic

Rating: 10/10 (7 August 2001)

It was great to recently see this film again, this time on a very large screen at one of Melbourne's remaining picture palaces. I have seen it many times since it's release on both screen and TV and, it never fails to move me, no matter what format.
Richard Attenborough manages to compress into 175 minutes the essence of Cornelius Ryan's long and involved tale of one of the great Allied disasters of WWII.
Others have written much on this movie so all I will say is:
See It - and make sure you do so on a wide screen!
The effort will be worth it and the experience will be one that will always remind you of the pointlessness of wars - even though sometimes they must be fought.
One of the Best!
