The Blue Max (DVD, 1966)

Sweet hooch !

A certified classic WWI air battle movie with strong psychological content. Beyond the captivating aerial scenes and dogfights - the main characters are constantly engaging - who doesn't come away with renewed respect for the venerable James Mason as a German General. George Peppard is stiff and brash as a young German lieutenant, fresh from the infantry trenches, and now placed in a squadron with pilots of period correct biplanes. Ursula Andress is plentiful eye-candy throughout the film. The action is continuous, both in and out of the sky, and the ending is a clever denouement of the chain of events.

Two thumbs Up !Vollständige Rezension lesen

A classic and overlooked war picture.

Director of Photography Douglas Slocumbe was a genius. Keep in mind the dogfights in this movie were shot in the 1960's without the benefit of any digital effects. everything is real and life size. A stunning film.Vollständige Rezension lesen

Two criticisms only . . .

My only criticisms of the film, itself, are these: 1) the two most-acclaimed actors, George Peppard and James Mason, notably did not have German accents, as German combatants; 2) German characters did not speak actual German. Peppard and Mason probably were not asked to do so because of their reknown. But this lacking does detract from the film. Subtitles should have been used to add "authenticity" to the film.Vollständige Rezension lesen

Classic WW1 Aerocraft and beautiful flying.

I've waited a long time to add this classic movie to my collection. My WW1 Aero movie collection is just about done.

One of my favorite movies about WW1 flyers. Some technical inaccuracies but overall very well made film.

DVD was in great shape. Shipped rapidly after order. Well packaged.
