Never have I seen so many "tens" for a movie. One could say it is from its perspective that the movie unfolds. Was this review helpful? Was this review helpful? Unlike what was said on other reviews this documentary should be seen as a whole and not something specific. Simply enjoy its beauty and specially the connection between the plane and the people that were involved in flying the most beautiful plane ever made.
A very fitting tribute to the brave and remarkable generation of people who flew and fought in our skies during World War Two. Mountain girl Trigger Hicks, a fierce loner equally handy with a rock or a prayer, is in danger of having her faith-healing mistaken for witchcraft by the neighbors. It mainly consists of talking head footage with various survivors of battles and those who flew the planes at the time; it was so long ago now that some of them have died since release. The film depicts Mitchell's strong work ethic in designing the Spitfire and his death. On 15 September 1940, during the Geoffrey Crisp is a fictional character that is an amalgam of Vickers's test pilots, Jeffrey Quill (also an RAF veteran) and Mitchell's fatal illness is deliberately not specified in the film. A pleasure to be able to have the opportunity to experience this once in a lifetime cinematic showing. Millions of Brits will be able to watch the NHS Spitfire fly over the UK today in tribute to the hard work of front line heroes. 3 out of 3 found this helpful. Was this review helpful? There is little technical understanding. A dream. From start to finish I was fixed to the big screen and hair stood up on the sound of those Merlin engines roaring throughout. But for all her good looks, she was also a killer." 10 out of 14 found this helpful.
UK cinemas are recovering after a tough few weeks. This is a must see documentary on the people and the flying machine they perfected to protect and defend Britain during the WW2 German attacks. This film looks like much more than just a historical doc or an engineering doc, and there's some spectacular footage in this trailer alone. Was this review helpful? Certainly fantastic to view at the cinema, and to appreciate the Spitfire in all its beauty. (There are still about 50.)
The story of the fighter plane and pilots that helped win the Battle of Britain in World War II. Great cinematography. A pleasure to be able to have the opportunity to experience this once in a lifetime cinematic showing. Was this review helpful? It's a reverent portrait of a machine and the people who flew it. Was this review helpful? The ending where Mary Ellis sees the plane she signed in WW2 is fantastic.

Spitfire also explores how this extraordinary plane thrives today and how it has become an international icon. A mixture of nostalgia, history, humour and pathos together with the most spectacular air to air filming I have ever seen.

Aircraft designer/patriot R. J. Mitchell, alarmed at growing German militarism, works to perfect a defense against the German Messerschmidt at the cost of his health. Some truly wonderful stories that are both poignant, honest and deeply felt from the people who lived them. And, as this film beautifully demonstrates, the Spitfire truly was a work of art, regardless of the angle from which it was viewed. 14 out of 14 found this helpful. The Spitfire Grill is a 1996 American film written and directed by Lee David Zlotoff and starring Alison Elliott, Ellen Burstyn, Marcia Gay Harden, Will Patton, Kieran Mulroney and Gailard Sartain. It covers the history of this historic warplane from its conception in the thirties to its phasing out and replacement by jets. The film premiered at the Leicester Square Theatre in London at 6.30pm on Thurs 30 August; a charity performance in aid of the Leslie Howard's portrayal of Mitchell has a special significance since Howard was killed when the A newsreel sets the scene for summer 1940, showing Nazi advances in Europe with Britain facing invasion and aerial attacks on the island increasing.
Was this review helpful? An interesting documentary, but it misses far too much about the Spitfire, things like the design and also the different marks (which are not explored in depth in the documentary). The film goes through a few of the battles but again not in detail. Leslie Howard's portrayal of Mitchell has a special significance since Howard was killed when the "Production, performances and story—they can't miss," wrote "It was backed by the RAF and intended to inspire the nation at a time of crisis," wrote journalist and author Gerard Garrett. Always enjoy the sound of a Merlin. I'm really looking forward to catching up with this film… Thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it.
