And let's not forget that Carl Davis score, maybe his TV score masterpiece.
They'll never make a better WWII docu, because no matter what great footage they uncover, they can't interview again the key players who are now gone.

Wow. After the Great War series, this was even better. Considered by many working in TV as the best series/documentary ever made. This was impressive when it came out, and as william says, even more poignant now when you realise the brave people you are watching articulate their difficult experiences have virtually all gone. The last of a generation.
I got a free box set of dvds with a newspaper a few years ago and i watch the lot periodically. Olivier's delivery takes the the thing to a whole new level. Anyone who ever wonders why the world considered him so good, need not look any further for evidence. Just his voice alone, the pacing, the phrasing, the delivery, the tone - it should be a syllabus at acting school so young actors can see what can be done with voice alone.

The original Blu-ray set had the image cropped to facilitate filling the widescreen TV. Mistake. Looks like this new transfer will return to the original aspect ratio...
...but will it be available in America, too?

Goddaman I hate, hate hate this practice!!!
I have pretty much given up watching historical documentaries because of this practice (and, transferring video images to film) which is totally unneccessary
Our heritage is being mutilated!!!!!!!!!!!!
