 John Thaw September 5, 2010

John at his best, Bomber Harris made the villain of other peoples decisions. Disgrace he was not made a peer.

Put simply, if you don't know all this stuff already, I suppose it's a reasonable starting place. The political slant is wrong, the producers clearly had a budget of string and plasticine and the reality can't be portrayed in any real sense. The back cover says that the bw archival footage is 'skilfully inserted'. Yeah, like you can skilfully insert an aubergine.

Good play of the late JOHN THAW, mostly known as INSPECTOE MORSE.
The latest word of history ,about his ultimate role in the unnecessary bombing of DRESDEN has still not been said

If Bomber Harris had his way the war would have been over quicker and with less deaths.
Commanders still had to obey orders from those who thought that they were the experts.
Event today show that commanders are caused to dither a bit due to legal "problems" which can cause the death of allied servicemen.
A thoughtful film.
John Thaw is Bomber Harris

I am embarrassed to say that being an American, I knew very little about 'Bomber' Harris. I had purchased this DVD because of my admiration of John Thaw. I found his portrayal to be quite riveting and I didn't once think of Jack Regan or Inspector Morse as I watched this program. John Thaw commanded the screen at all times. This was obviously shot on a very limited budget, but the acting here transcends all of that. Since viewing this movie I have seen the real life Bomber Harris on the History Channel and could see for myself what John Thaw was trying for. I am not sure how much of this movie has been fictionalized, if any at all, but I found the story compelling and the character of Bomber Harris to be sympathetic. The transfer to DVD itself is very sharp although it seems to have been run off from a 3/4 inch video tape master and not the original film negative. I only found one slight video glitch in the entire presentation and was very satisfied with the product itself.
