I screencapped Denholm for you!

Thank you so much!

But

I have never seen him so young in color before! What is he doing in this film?

That sounds very cool, and since I have now started being completist about Rattigan to make up for lost time, I will most likely get to it if there's a Network DVD, because those are usually still around somewhere as yet.

I like it a lot. It follows many of the patterns of WWI aviation films so that the attrition rates are about what you expect, but one of its explicit points is how to try to stay human and it popularized two poems which I had learned independently by the time I saw the film.

(I think I may have previously muddled it with The Stars Look Down which is a Carol Reed film with Margaret Lockwood and Michael Redgrave that I should, on paper, have liked a lot, but sadly did not. I gave the dvd to my sister to sell on eBay for me, and then my Mum bought it back and felt much the same, lol.)

I have never seen The Stars Look Down, but am much warier of it now knowing it had it in for your entire family!
