A somewhat luke-warm version of RC Sherriff's play "Journey's End", following a young pilot through his brief active service. The on-ground shenanigans are fairly run of the mill, but there are some excellent aerial action scenes.

THOSE MAGNIFICENT MEN IN THEIR FLYING MACHINES (1965)
CertificationU Our Rating
Set in 1910, this rip-roaring comedy is a 'Wacky-Races' in the air. In a quest to prove that Great Britain is top dog in the air, Lord Rawnsley (Robert Morley) puts up a £10,000 prize. Many stereotypical nationals take part (there's a fanatical Prussian determined to win at all costs), a sextet of women, villains and good guys. Featuring plenty of slapstick and filmed in that wonderful technicolor. A great Sunday afternoon film.
