It's definitely on DVD - a restored print has just been made available for the 60th Anniversary.
It's just a great British film - with real flying in real Lancasters, with real Merlins on the soundtrack..mmmmmmmmmmm !!
What's neat is that half the film is quite slow, all about designing the bomb etc - and then the 'go-ahead' is given and we see Harris deciding to create a 'special squadron'.
Cochrane says :
'Have you anyone in mind to lead it ?'
Harris replies :
'Yes...
Gibson! '
Immediate cut to a Lancaster banking to land and the tempo of the film picks up...
Great stuff !
