633 Squadron*
(GB 1963)
An RAF Mosquito squadron executes a daring raid to attack a deadly German enclave for rocket fuel in Norway.
Nearly every British war film cliche is used in this airborne WWII thriller, taking a good deal of its cue from The Dam Busters (but less of its wit and intelligence), complete with equally catchy theme tune, and some accomplished aerial photography and model work at the climax.
Written by: James Clavell, Howard Koch, from the novel by Frederick E. Smith.
Producer: Cecil F. Ford.
Director: Walter Grauman.
Starring: Cliff Robertson, George Chakiris, Harry Andrews, Donald Houston, Michael Goodliffe, Maria Perschy, John Meillon, Angus Lennie, Drewe Henley, Suzan Farmer, Johnny Briggs.
Photography: Ted Scaife, John Wilcox.
Music: Ron Goodwin.
