I bought this on DVD in a '3 for £20' offer, as I had fond memories of it from childhood, and it had been around 20 years since I last remember seeing it. I have to say that it's not nearly as good as I remembered it to be. The plot is full of cliches and there's the inevitable love interest for the lead. That said, there are points to recommend it. Cliff Robertson gives another reliable performance as the Wing Commander in charge of the squadron, and there are equally dependable turns from Harry Andrews and Donald Houston. The numerous flying sequences with the Mosquito Bombers are expertly filmed, and it's a real bonus to finally see the film in its correct 2.35:1 aspect ratio. The special effects aren't bad for 1964, and Ron Goodwin's famous score underpins the whole venture.
The main problem that I have with the film is that it borrows heavily from 'The Dam Busters' in terms of plot, without ever scaling the heights (no pun intended) of that classic. It may have lush Panavision photography, better effects etc., but lacks the nail biting tension and expertly constructed drama of its predecessor. However, it's perfectly acceptable entertainment, if somewhat abrupt at the end.

1944年春天,英国皇家空军蚊子中队奉命袭击挪威的德国火箭燃料厂。这次任务包括飞上一个防御森严的峡湾,轰炸悬崖峭壁,试图掩埋建在岩石中的工厂。
我三年前用DVD买的£因为我从小就对它有着美好的回忆,自从我最后一次看到它已经有20年了。我不得不说,它没有我记忆中的那么好。这个情节充满了陈词滥调,对主角有着不可避免的情趣。也就是说,有几点值得推荐。克里夫罗伯逊作为负责中队的联队指挥官提供了另一个可靠的表现,哈里安德鲁斯和唐纳德休斯顿也有同样可靠的转变。蚊子轰炸机的无数飞行序列都是经过专业拍摄的,最终能以2.35:1的正确长宽比看到这部电影真是一大收获。1964年的特技效果还不错,罗恩·古德温的著名乐谱支撑了整个冒险。
我对这部电影的主要问题是,它在情节上大量借鉴了《溃坝者》,却没有达到那部经典电影的高度(没有双关语)。它可能有丰富的泛视觉摄影,更好的效果等,但缺乏钉子咬张力和熟练地构建其前任戏剧。然而,这是完全可以接受的娱乐,如果有点突然结束。
