The Memphis Belle | Year: 1944 Classification: Action/Adventure Directed: - William Wyler The real story of the Memphis Belle This movie was one the best I've ever seen.This movie directed by William Wyler was excellent.Not only does this movie tell about the "Belle" but it also tells about the real crew such as Robert Morgan(pilot), Vince Evans (Bombardier),John Quinlan(tail gunner),Cecil Scott(Ball Turret Gunner),Harold Loch (Top Turret Gunner/Engineer),Jim Verinis(Copilot),Tony Nastal (Waist Gunner),Bill Winchel (Waistgunner),and Robert Hanson (Radio Operator).This film was actually many different missions put together to make the Memphis Belles last mission(May 17, 1943).If you are as interested in the air war over Europe during World War two you will love this movie. Great Plane, Great Film While this DVD doesn't come with all the bells and whistles that many do, the film itself is superb. Not filled with flashy expensive special effects, it instead takes advantage of actual footage from the war (in my opinion far more valuable). The story it tells does deviate at times from the real details surrounding the Memphis Belle and her crew, but it certainly doesn't lose the spirit. I recomend this film to anyone who loves the B-17 and the stories that surround these great old war birds. As an extra, check out "The Man Who Flew the Memphis Belle : Memoir of a World War II Bomber Pilot" which is the autobiography of the Belle's pilot, Robert Morgan. The Real Thing It's like this ; I have watched this video dozens of times, and the copy I have is worn out. That is why I am on here looking for a new one; maybe two. The BEST documentary I have ever seen! Enough said? By the way, the descriptions given in the previous reviews by Rob and Lynn are TOTALLY accurate.
