Battle Of Britain (Special Edition)

To commemorate the 60th anniversary of D-Day, MGM is releasing this classic British war film on 2 Disc Special Edition DVD. With restored picture and sound it also includes, for the first time, Sir William Walton's original score, which was composed and then not used in its entirety on the final film…until now.

Directed by the legendary Guy Hamilton (Goldfinger, Diamonds Are Forever) and featuring a stellar cast, The Battle of Britain is the story of how the Royal Air Force outnumbered by the German Luftwaffe managed to overcome insurmountable odds and win the battle of the air in World War II.

In the summer and Autumn of 1940 Britain and German air forces clashed in the skies over Britain. The R.A.F Fighter Command although hugely outnumbered defeated the German Luftwaffe in what was to become known as the Battle of Britain . It proved to be one of the most important moments in Britain's 20th Century history and a turning point in World War II.
