- Disappointed!
I confused this movie with another I saw years ago which is why I ordered it.The director and screenwriters sleepwalked through their jobs and it shows(I cant believe that James Clavell was one of them!)Even Harry Andrews, as solid a character actor as there is couldnt reclaim this woodenly acted/directed movie. O.K.,I know! The footage of the DeHavilland Mosquitos is outstanding,but it is a shame they didnt get a better picture to showcase their great wartime performance/history.If you are an air ...

Rating: - RAF versus the Mountain
This is the story of an RAF Bombing mission against a secret German installation in Norway.In order to destroy the installation, they have to bring down the mountain on the tunnel entrance.This is an all around good WW2 flying movie.
Rating: - Love these Merlin Engines
This movie is not great, but I enjoyed this movie in a Saturday matinée when I was a kid, and was pleased to see it on DVD.
At the time this film was made, the Mosquitoe fighter bombers had to be the few remaining serviceable planes in the world, and those Merlin engines are just fantastic.Sure the acting is marginal, there are model planes too, but this is a fun movie to watch, and I recommend it for those history buffs out there that like WW II aircraft.
Rating: - 3 stars out of 4
The Bottom Line:
Yet another post-WWII British War Film (they sure did churn 'em out), 633 Squadron is actually a pretty good film; it generates enough excitement through its suprisingly-bleak finale to elevate it above the mundane.
