Battle of Britain (1969 To 2023) Then and Now All Cast: Most of actors died

Robert Shaw

My favourite film of all time

Splendid film and actors, have watched it 30 times...😀Narration by a bloody robot?...

I sat on the cliffs at Dover and watched this film being made

I was up the water tower on DUXFORD Airfield watching all the filming happen seeing all the SPIT'S and HURRICANE'S and quite a few of the famous actor's filming the BATTLE OF BRITAIN FILM , in 1969 . ROB.

This is my favorite movie, I remember my dad and I watching this when I was younger

Best aviation film ever

i thought susanna york stole the show

Don't just stand there get one up
watched BofB 7 times in one day you should have seen the dog's face😂😂bless him he died aged 12 💔

Great movie - when it was released it got 'no respect' from the critics and much of the British public. It's great to see that a newer (and younger) generation has discovered the film and appreciates it.

Why robotise the voice?

Ruined it.

So young some of them died.
it scares me to think as I am way older than a lot of them.
But a great aircraft movie, with a heck of a cast of great actors. From the old days. I still watch it on DVD. They still are all young in movieland. I guess that is their reward in life. Forever young.
For those still with us. Long life full of kind memories and pleasantries.

At 13 years of age my high school had a trip to the cinema to see this film as part of our history studies. I have love it ever since.

Have thison DVD, wonderful movie,read a comment from Michael Caine that during the filming he spoke to BB ace Roberts Stanford Tuck saying at his age(30s)he woukd be too young to be a pilot then only to be told,to his own amazement that most pilots were barely in their 20s!

One of my favorite films

Most of the actors in a film shot 57 years ago, who were in their late 20s, 30s and 40s at the time, have died? Well, who would have predicted THAT outcome?

Let’s not forget Bill Foxley, who was in the film with his own facial disfigurement from burns suffered as RAF aircrew in 1942.

The best aerial battle film in the history of cinema! Big stars, spectacular soundtrack!

did you have to show the terrible photo of susanna York not a nice tribute

Look out for dvd doc that features film out takes. M and s sold it!

Flew the 109 adolf galland flew in the film

I saw this at the cinema with my Dad when it was first released. It's one of my favourite films of all time.

Battle of britain is my favorite movie

My all time favourite, saw it with my dad in 1968, and countless times since.

My big respect to these magnificent actors. I have this film on dvd. Michael Cane and Christopher Plummer are my favorite actor.

Superb performance by Robert Shaw whose character is loosely portrayed by South African pilot Salior Malan.

My favourite film 🎥 🇬🇧🇬🇧

Robotic voiceover

Always viewed this with great pride,sadly the pride part no longer exist,in 2024.

Nicely done. Lots of good actors in this movie, but I'll take Robert Shaw as my favorite. Brilliant flying sequences especially since it was filmed before the advent of CGI. Thanks

My favourite character was Michael Caine's black dog.

"One of the greatest movies of all time"! ??? You need to get to the cinemas more often. As good as it was it hardly rates as one of the greatest.

I was at primary school in sawston. We watched the spitfires and hurricanes. The camera aircraft. And the Messerschmitt/buchons over head. I tell people that I remember the Battle of Britain as a child. The look on there faces is always interesting.
When I watch the film. I always imagine a little me looking up watching the action overhead.

My fathinglaw lived nr Biggin Hill and said they used to count them out and back it always upset him when they were missing some

Edward Fox was the best

Didn't Robert Shaw star in the T.V series " last of the Summer wine " ?

Movie based on very real events. RIP the few whose sacrifice saved so many and had Churchill make his Never in the field of human conflict speech.

good movie..watched it several times

The movie was filmed in 1968 not 1969. Premiered on 15th Sept 1969.

Really, life is a one sort of "disease" - with 100 per cent death rate, nicht wahr?

Who Polsh pilots on 303 Sqadron?

Went to see it in Newquay with Michael and Jane Langley and their Mum back in 1970 WHILE ON Holiday at their holiday flat

Why, oh, why do they have a robot doing the monotone voice over? Surely there are plenting of 'resting' actors who could do it? And a million times better too.😮

LaUrence Olivier, for Heaven's sake! I worked on the Premiere at the Dominion Theatre in 1969. An unforgettable night.

Terrible , awful .

"Squad leader skipper", "was played actor". LOL.

If someone ever creates an Academy Award for bad asserey, they should award it to Trevor Howard. (Posthumously, of course...)

love Trevor Howard
