  • "Good Flick, Great Condition DVD"

    This was a fave movie when I was a kid back in the 1960's. It was very entertaining, educational, and inspired me to want to learn to fly! However, my eyesight prevented my becoming a US Military Pilot as I had intended. But, some 50 years later, I still enjoy this movie that I used to have on VHS tape. No longer possessing a working VCR, I set out recently to replace some of my fave movies from my late VHS library with DVDs. This is one of those favorites. Though intended as a Romantic Comedy, the film is actually an historic documentary, in that most of the aircraft in the film were flying replicas of planes that were flown in an actual 1911 race around Britain, or restored museum displays used for the actual flying scenes and still shots! As a period costume RomCom, this film is totally enjoyable for the whole family!

  • An excellent comedy about a 1910 airplane race between London and Paris when the aircraft industry was in its infancy.

    We have the movie on VHS and wanted to preserve it for viewing into the future. We watch it every year. The DVD offers a clearer picture and the audio is better also. It is getting much more difficult to purchase DVD's locally. Buying on-line offers so much more selection at reasonable prices. The show itself is a fun show on many levels and not excessively intense, as many more modern offerings are. I find it particularly entertaining because of the technological aspect of how flying aircraft began and evolved. It is absolutely amazing how much air travel has changed within 100 years.

  • Excellent comedy

    THis is an excellent comedy based on the very early days of flying. It's about a race across the English Channel from Dover to Paris. One MAJOR warning. At intermission, there are pictures with the music at first, then the screen goes black. The intermission is NOT over, although it looks that way. Let it go on and the movie will continue after about 5 minutes of just music and a black screen.

  • A classic for the vintage aircraft enthusiast.

    The film is well done with beautiful footage of vintage aircraft, The Antoinette, Demoiselle and others. There are plenty of silly story lines that make it a family friendly flick, however the early flying aircraft is what I bought it for having seen it years ago as a child.

  • Those Magnificent Men

    This was comedy from the early 70's. Light, fun and full of talent. I love it. As soon as possible I will find and purchase the sister film "Those Daring young men and third jaunty jalopies". Both films are stuffed with comedic talent that sadly are no longer with us.

  • Finally got a copy

    Waited to find it in the local stores and just gave up. Saw that there was a blue ray version.....for$138, no way!! The DVD version is great and I have a blue ray/dvd player that plays DVD with more quality anyway, great buy!!

  • Great old-time comedy with authentic vintage airplanes!

    A great old-time comedy, borderline slapstick, about the early days of aviation. Enhanced by reproduction 1910-vintage aircraft, and even some authentic originals on loan from museums. Entertainment that you wouldn't be uncomfortable taking your grandmother to see.

  • This 1960's international classic was as good today as I remembered, and suitable for the entire.family.

    DVD played perfectly without fault. Picture and sound quality are excellent, as is the condition of the DVD folder and original insert which was also included.
