Listen "33: “This wasn’t Oppenheimer. This was something else” – revisiting The Dam Busters, 70 years on"
Episode Synopsis
A British war movie classic comes into focus in the latest episode of the STUDIOCANAL Presents podcast, as The Dam Busters celebrates its 70th birthday.
Host Simon Brew is joined by Dr Matthew Sweet as the pair chat about the film, drawing parallels with work as far and wide as Apocalypse Now, Star Wars, Dunkirk and even a dab of Top Gun Maverick. Also, why a version of the film written by Roald Dahl and directed by Howard Hawks never came to be.
Quite the bonus double bill in this episode, too!
