The movie is a throwback to a time when ordinary people enjoyed simple pleasures like going to their club, or taking in the pictures and growing their chrysanthemums in the adjoining greenhouse garden...so very British. It is these very ordinary people that some artists have a great sympathy and admiration for in our often self-serving world. Nothing extraordinary about the movie or the couple but almost 60 years on, the acting still makes it a delight to watch.

1954年的英国电影《轰炸鲁尔水坝记》 (The Dam Busters),这部电影几乎以纪录片的形式记录了第二次世界大战中1943年5月16日晚上英国皇家空军执行的“惩戒行动”。 This film, details the Allied efforts to target German dams during World War Two. In very methodical, but also enthusiastic fashion, they figured out what plane, what bomb, what angle, what altitude, etc., were necessary to inflict maximum damage to the dams, while minimizing losses to the planes. The answer they came up with, sounds absurd, but it worked: very large, cylindrical bombs rotating backwards at a high rate of speed, causing them, when dropped, to skip along the sureface of the water, right up to the base of the dam. 要炸掉水坝,可不是容易的事情,电影详细介绍了炸弹设计者的设计过程,以及英国军方采纳这个计划的过程(因为乍听起来实在像是天方夜谭),这个片子看起来决不乏味,甚至是相当令人激动地。该片获第28届奥斯卡最佳效果奖提名及第9届英国电影学院最佳电影,最佳英国电影和最佳编剧3项提名。
