Product Information
A classic British biopic, telling the true story of WWII fighter pilot ace Douglas Bader, played by Kenneth Moore. Bader lost both legs in a flying accident but confounded both his doctor's expectations and those of the RAF by learning to walk in time to marry sweetheart Thelma and to pass flying school. Soon a squadron leader, Bader was shot down over France and captured by the Germans. His indefatigable resolve saw him try to escape so often, he was eventually confined to Colditz until the end of the war. Director Lewis Gilbert, whose wartime-themed films include classics such as Carve Her Name With Pride and The Sea Shall Not Have Them, went on to direct the equally classic Alfie as well as three superior Bond films.Product Identifiers
