The Dam Busters (1955)

Over the past few weeks, Vue cinema in Reading (possibly elsewhere too?) has been showing old classic films. Last night The Dam Busters was being shown, so I quickly grabbed some ticket.

Whilst it is more then 50 years old, and even though I've seen it countless times on the small screen, it was well worth a visit. It put modern films to shame. No relying on special effects, no relying on music to generate atmosphere and tension.

The acting is top-notch, and some of the scenes are brilliantly shot.

Worth a trip, should anyone see the offer elsewhere.
