Product Description An epic war story of World War II. Scientist Dr. Barnes Wallis believes World War II can be shortened by destroying the Ruhr dams, thus paralyzing the enemy's industrial nerve center. In spite of the difficulties caused by the critical situation at the time, he works steadily to perfect a special bomb of his own invention for the purpose. Air Ace Wing Commander Guy Gibson is chosen to form, train and lead the hand-picked squadron. Flying at tree-top level they cross the Rhine and attack the first dam - Moehne. The bombers seem unable to maintain the accuracy essential for success - then suddenly the masonry begins to crumble. The final attack scene inspired the attack on the Death Star in the first Star Wars film Review Nominated - Special Effects - Academy Awards Nominated - Best Film - BAFTA Awards Nominated - Best British Film - BAFTA Awards Nominated - Best British Screenplay - BAFTA Awards --- The Dam Busters...does a great job capturing the little details of squadron life, especially the nervous hours preceding a dangerous mission. The structure, look, and even some of the dialogue of the finale was echoed more than 20 years later for the attack on the Death Star in Star Wars. - Stuart Galbraith IV, DVD Talk One of the truly great war films. - Dennis Schwartz, Ozus' World Movie Reviews Michael Anderson'sThe Dam Busters is an inherently inspiring true story, told in a reassuringly straightforward manner. There's no cloying sentimentality or self-congratulatory worthiness here, just honest British endeavour, innovation and determined stiff upper-lipped-ness. Excellent. A triumph of British ingenuity, the story The Dam Busters served to highlight the best of the war effort in a wonderfully celebratory fashion. --James Dennis, Screen Anarchy This is a motion picture which must be seen. Redgrave as Dr. Wallis turns in one of the finest performances you'll see this year, anywhere. Richard Todd and the rest of the supporting cast are also excellent. - Brigid Murnaghan, The Village Voice The production is a personal triumph for Michael Anderson. Michael Redgrave, particularly, gives a vividly human portrayal of Dr Barnes Wallis the scientist while Richard Todd makes a distinguished showing as Guy Gibson the RAF commander. - Variety Director Michael Anderson's The Dam Busters (1955) has a strong claim to be the greatest British war film ever made. --Ian Freer, The Telegraph

''Look at her! She lives!'' So says Dr. Oliver Frank at the sight of his new creation, a hulking beast with the transplanted brain of a beautiful young woman. He has finally carried on the legacy of his late grandfather, the notorious Dr. Frankenstein! The twist in Frankenstein's Daughter (1958) is that it takes place in ''modern'' Los Angeles, where teenagers are forever in swim gear. Even as news reports warn them about a female monster menacing the neighborhood, nothing stops these kids from partying by the poolside. Fans of low-budget horror will see some familiar faces in the cast, including John Ashley, Harold Lloyd, Jr., and former Playboy Playmate of the Month, Sally Todd (just a year after her appearance in The Unearthly). For Director Richard E. Cunha, Frankenstein's Daughter was part of a productive year where he turned out three other cult favorites: She Demons; Giant from the Unknown; and Missile to the Moon. And though Donald Murphy lacked the schlock pedigree of his director and co-stars, his thousand-watt stare makes him a perfectly evil Dr. Frank. SPECIAL FEATURES: Full Commentary track with Author/ Historian Tom Weaver Full Color Booklet with original essay by Author/ Historian Tom Weaver ''RICHARD E. CUNHA: FILMMAKER OF THE UNKNOWN'' - A new career retrospective from Ballyhoo Motion Pictures featuring an archival interview with director Richard E. Cunha ''JOHN ASHLEY: MAN FROM THE B'S'' - A new career retrospective featuring film historian C. Courtney Joyner
