| Peter Ustinov Five different scientists, led by Professor Heatherville (Ralph Richardson), are brought together and work in total secrecy under incredible pressure in a race against time to develop this vital weapon. Their dedication disrupts their family lives as they are forced to sacrifice everything to make the great breakthrough. Their success is illustrated by the effect Radar has on the fighting abilities of the RAF over the skies of Britain in those crucial summer and autumn months of 1940. However, Germany is also planning its own Radar capability and British commandos must be dispatched to strike at a vital Nazi installation. Written, produced and directed by Peter Ustinov and boasting a distinguished supporting cast including Richard Attenborough, David Tomlinson and John Laurie, this film celebrates one of Britain's greatest achievements. Ustinov completed the script while stil technically in the army. He met his first assistant, Michael Anderson, at the Army Kinematograph Service. At the start of shooting Ralph Richardson was playing Falstaff at the Old Vic. But it is stil worth watching. You get over 1 hour and 40 minutes of watching some of the greatest actors from the heyday of British cinema. I agree though that Richardson was the type of actor who you either loved for his eccentricity or he got on your nerves. Nothing in-between. © Paul Page, 2017 Jan. 17: 1 back in stock.
