Histoire
Le saviez-vous
- AnecdotesThere was no follow-up raid because aerial photography showed that the new anti-air raid defences on the dam installed after the attack would have made a second raid suicidal.
- GaffesThe system devised to get the height right was, in the film, said to have been thought of by the 617 Sqn crews following a visit to the theater. In reality it was devised by the 'boffins' at Farnborough.
- Citations
Official, Ministry of Aircraft Production: You say you need a Wellington Bomber for test drops. They're worth their weight in gold. Do you really think the authorities will lend you one? What possible argument could I put forward to get you a Wellington?
Doctor B. N. Wallis, C.B.E., F.R.S.: Well, if you told them I designed it, do you think that might help?
- Générique farfeluBlu-Ray edition opening screen: "While we acknowledge some of the language used in The Dam Busters reflects historical attitudes audiences may find offensive, for reasons of historical accuracy we have opted to present the film as it was originally screened."
This refers to the fact that the protagonist, Wing Commander Guy Penrose Gibson's, dog is named "N-Word." In addition, the dog's name is used during the raid on the dams as code indicating the dam(s) have successfully been breached.
- Autres versionsPrints distributed in the United States by Warner Brothers added a shot from Desperate Journey (1942) showing an early model B-17 Flying Fortress crashlanding in a forest.
- ConnexionsEdited into Attaque sur le Mur de l'Atlantique (1968)
Commentaire en vedette
The Dambusters is a true story in which the men of 617 Squadron (originally Squadron X) are sent to bomb three key dams in the Ruhr Valley with the famous bouncing bomb. The film shows the young bomber crews training and eventually the mission itself. Many people have said that this raid was a waste of human life and resources but war IS a waste of human life and resources and these men gave the UK a boost in morale and made the Germans realize we weren't beat yet. Apparently Mel Gibson wanted to recreate this movie some years ago but did not get the backing of the MoD,the BBMF or 617 Squadron. With fantastic performances from Richard Todd as Guy Gibson and Michael Redgrave as Barnes Wallis this is a classic film.
