I think Redgrave has about 2 minutes in BoB, handing a staff report to Dowding...

Of course I'm not critical of the actors, they are all very talented. But they are also how Hollywood likes it's Brits, and to a certain extent how Britain has liked to see itself portrayed: unflappable, cool and collected whilst the Yanks chew cigars, shout a lot and fire off ammunition as if it's going out of fashion.

The best examples are the classic war films produced in Britain in the 50's: all stiff upper lips and comic-opera Nazis. Should come with a Health warning "Do not take seriously under any circumstances".
