The Dam Busters (Blu-ray)

Regarded as a British classic, The Dam Busters is directed by Michael Anderson (Logan’s Run, Around the World in 80 Days). Based on the legendary true story of Commander Guy Gibson and his squadron, The Dam Busters captures all the thrilling action and suspense of the magnificent exploits of a group of young pilots and their crews, charged with taking out the supposedly impenetrable Ruhr river dams of Germany with an ingeniously designed bouncing bomb.

Starring Richard Todd (The Hasty Heart, A Man Called Peter) as Gibson and Sir Michael Redgrave (Dead Of Night, The Browning Version) as scientist and engineer Dr Barnes Wallis, the film also immortalised composer Eric Coates’s masterpiece, The Dam Busters March.
