Dam Busters

This is the Super 8 4x400' from Walton I got a few years ago. I like old WWII movies, and this abridged version works very well. It manages to keep up the excitement through all 4 reels.

I have this feature too, but i have the derann version. This looks to be pretty good and sharp too. My first copy was the walton version, but it was so badly scratched i just could not watch it, another purchase from someone who found the truth in description beyond him. A great bit of acting from Redgrave, who i believe was a conscientious objector ..........

We also have this Walton 4 x 400ft version, it moves very well and there doesn't appear to be any poor edits.
Quality of the print is nice and sharp with good sound, yours here looks like a really nice clean print.

I believe you are right Paul, about Redgrave being a conscientius objector: he put in a great performance as Barnes Wallis.
