Magnificent music that captures the spirit of flight , and the peace that exists high above the clouds.The conflict of war interrupts this scene with amazing clarity .The land below is revealed , home and loved ones are vulnerable . After extensive preparation the mission to remove the threat by air succeeds , but at a great cost..The final 90 seconds of the suite is a requiem to the fallen , and is truly inspirational .
This movie is the one that inspired Lucas for Luke's attack on the Death Star, Star Wars has many scenes and ships that look like WWII planes. Nice music and nice film!
@@Mad826 Yes, plywood. And so fast that the German fighters couldn't catch it. At the time of its introduction it was the fastest thing in the sky...bar none. Hitler ordered that any pilot who could shoot one down should be accorded TWO kills.
@@Mad826 The wonderful thing was that the British did the impossible. So? We ran out of metal? Let's use wood! It's the same spirit that kept the Londoners going during the blitz. The Spitfire, Mosquito and Lancaster all sum up the reason why we won the war.
Yes on both counts, also the bit where Cliff Robertson flew the training route for the crew who had just crashed... that, twinned with the music, makes that a great scene of the Movie!
[last lines] Squadron Leader Adams: Well, at least the rockets won't happen. Air Vice Marshal Davis (Actor Harry Andrews) : Of course they'll happen. But they won't start tomorrow, or this month or on D-Day, and that's important. Squadron Leader Adams: Then what's it all add up to? All their sacrifice? Air Vice Marshal Davis: A successful operation. Squadron Leader Adams: But they're probably all dead. All 633 Squadron. Air Vice Marshal Davis: You can't kill a squadron
To me, it say everything about Britain, "guts all the way"! The most moving and powerful score, Ron ever did, it gives one, the "chills" listening to it! And, in my most humble opinion, the very best performance, actor Cliff Robertson, ever turned in, on any film, he ever did, superb!............
There has been some great music composed over the centuries for conflicts but I think the RAF is the most dramatic and puts you in the cockpit. Brave young men all of them. LEAST WE FORGET.
I was 7 years Old when in 1963 this movie was released I was not Old enough to see it at the Cinema it carried a double AA Rating not for children at the time. because of the story content . But today I salute the movie.
... "Sir whats it all mean ?" "A successful operation" ".. but sir the whole squadron may have been killed, all 633 squadron ... " "No Adams, you cant kill a squadron ..."
1-DISLIKES????? HEY WHAT ROCK'S YOUR BOAT???? THE REST OF US ARE NORMAL!!!!!!!!!!!! HAVE YOU SEEN THE MOVIES EH??? GREAT STUFF INDEED!! AND RON GOODWIN WAS SUPERB IN WAR MOVIE THEMES. THANKS RON!!
Great job, Fred! Thanks for uploading this. Ron Goodwin, RIP, deserves a posthumous Knighthood for his work in movie music. Maria Perschy, RIP, was and still is a babe. Cliff Roberstson RIP also did a fine job along with George Chakiris who is still alive.
This is a absolutely fantastic world War II Picture.. the great quote at the end after the squadron Didn't return. The commanding officer said. You can't kill a squadron.
This Courge did happen got bless 633 Squadron based on the men of Comonwealth Countries as together they make these Jugments together but not as world leadership but as a group of people at the time and for the good of mankind and in the name of Freedom
This movie 633 Squadron and Ice Station Zebra kind of foretold me of my future being dispatch to Holy Loch, Scotland in 1978 to defend Britain from Russian aggression.
Good enough but for me the main theme always sounds better played by a top of the range military band, rather than a symphony orchestra. The main theme may be one of the greatest ever written for French Horns.
So the real big question RE this great (classic) war movie's ending is....did Cliff Robertson actually die or just pass out when he was pulled out of his burning Mossie? Been bugging me for YEARS!! [full disclosure...as a kid I saw this great movie's debut showing in Tokyo when it came out]. "You can't kill a squadron....but you can wipe out it's crews." :-)
If you read the book it starts with him entering the 'Mucky Duck,' and having a drink, it ends with his brothers coming out of their photographs. So yes he came home!
my favourite plane ever, versatile, used for many purposes and apparently faster than a spitfire..the only draw back was it was made of wood, though bullets used to past straight through them they used to catch fire easily...agreed makes you prod to be British but we dont have blokes as tough this day and age
Making from wood was not a drawback. The first composite aeroplane. If it was made of metal there would have been no Mosquito. All alloy was for prodiction of other aircraft.
To my knowledge there is one in New Zealand . The Comemorative (Confederate)air Force had one many years ago not sure what happened perhalps a trade . Big mistake on their part its such a Gr8 aircraft !!!
Every nation should always honour there heroes and in the 21st century there will be plenty of heroes who fight against the ET invasion. Go get them Heroes. Haha.
My mum saw this at the cinema in 1964, and later in a double bill with The Great Escape in 1967, 633 Squadron may have been the support film but its far and away better than The Great Escape which quiet frankly I think is very overrated but then again it is American

Exceptional review
My Dad took me to see this movie when I was 10 years old. I have never forgotten it, or the soundtrack.
This movie is the one that inspired Lucas for Luke's attack on the Death Star, Star Wars has many scenes and ships that look like WWII planes. Nice music and nice film!
I loved this film as a boy and I still love the De Havilland Mosquito. It's a beautiful aircraft.
Barry Slemmings Fast , Powerful ,Sleek and proved the theory that " if it looks right it is right "
Built from wood I'm told
@@Mad826 Yes, plywood. And so fast that the German fighters couldn't catch it. At the time of its introduction it was the fastest thing in the sky...bar none. Hitler ordered that any pilot who could shoot one down should be accorded TWO kills.
@@Mad826 The wonderful thing was that the British did the impossible. So? We ran out of metal? Let's use wood! It's the same spirit that kept the Londoners going during the blitz. The Spitfire, Mosquito and Lancaster all sum up the reason why we won the war.
My very favorite piece of film music...combined with my very favorite aircraft of all time, the DH Mosquito!!! Fabulous RAF courage, dash and daring!
What a composer...I had the pleasure of see him in concert in The National Concert Hall in Dublin some years ago.....Ron Goodwin was a genius...
that final shot with the stirring music and Harry Andrews driving off and Michael Goodliffe walking away tears in my eyes all ready as I'm typing this
One of the greatest soundtracks to a war movie. The last scene with Harry Andrews and Michael Goodliffe was unforgettable.
Yes on both counts, also the bit where Cliff Robertson flew the training route for the crew who had just crashed... that, twinned with the music, makes that a great scene of the Movie!
Gives me shivers down my spine - so amazing.

Unforgettable indeed. A masterpiece only of it's kind.
its
Absolutely amazing soundtrack, makes the whole film come alive
This guy's a musical genius
NEAT!!
GREAT MUSIC FROM THE TALENTED MR RON GOODWIN!!!
THANKS FOR THE POSTING.
musical genius
One of the best scores. The picture made its costs back just from the UK boxoffice.
To me, it say everything about Britain, "guts all the way"! The most moving and powerful score, Ron ever did, it gives one, the "chills" listening to it! And, in my most humble opinion, the very best performance, actor Cliff Robertson, ever turned in, on any film, he ever did, superb!............
cliff Robertson apparently was so impressed with the mosquito he actually wanted to buy one. He was turned down
The greatest piece of flying music ever written.
What amazing music. Simply unforgettable. Ron Goodwin was a genius
Hearing this, Am I the only one who wonders how epic the StarWars theme tune and accompanying music would be if Ron Goodwin wrote it?....
Take the actual Starwars theme and magnify its epic-ness by 10... although I suspect the 633 Sqn theme would sneak in when attacking the death star 🤣🤣
There has been some great music composed over the centuries for conflicts but I think the RAF is the most dramatic and puts you in the cockpit. Brave young men all of them.
LEAST WE FORGET.
Makes your hair stand ,my God above this is good
I was 7 years Old when in 1963 this movie was released I was not Old enough to see it at the Cinema it carried a double AA Rating not for children at the time. because of the story content . But today I salute the movie.
This movie was required viewing for a young kid who had dreams of serving in the RAF. The soundtrack has stayed with me since I was about 10.
Fantastic movie theme!!!!!
Great Soundtrack!
R.I.P. Cliff Robertson (1923-2011)
Love this music and great music from Ron Goodwin
The music is superb for a military air movie.
... "Sir whats it all mean ?"
"A successful operation"
".. but sir the whole squadron may have been killed, all 633 squadron ... "
"No Adams, you cant kill a squadron ..."
+Philip Robinson I remember that line. My mum and I looked at each other and said, "You can have a bloody good go!"
+foxitewhig Yes, alas, and in all wars, they are all expendable: "whatever the cost may be" Great film though, likewise the music.
great movie, great line
The best quote "you can't kill a squadron!". Another favorite of mine is: "The Race Is Not Over; It Goes On".
Makes you proud to be British! No sloppy sentimental endings here!
1-DISLIKES?????
HEY WHAT ROCK'S YOUR BOAT????
THE REST OF US ARE NORMAL!!!!!!!!!!!!
HAVE YOU SEEN THE MOVIES EH???
GREAT STUFF INDEED!!

THANKS RON!!

I think George Chakiris & Johnny Briggs are the only actors from the film alive today (2017)?
I agree
It is inspirational music for me to be a fighter pilot, but it is just a dream. Memories of my younger days watching the 633 Squadron movie.
Makes you proud to be British!
And pilot.
@@jabjabato7791 'Skipper, I'm gonna recommend you for a medal...and when it comes, I'll pin it right on your...
- What? On you tail.'
@@Ruda-n4h Sir, Yes Sir!!!
It is a completely fictional story.....
@@DavidDragonetti The raid on the Gestapo headquarters was true.
This movie was my FAVORITE movie when I was pre-teen. Listening now gives me chills all over that don't stop.
It brings me back to the time while my dad took me WWII movies.
Magnificent WWII movie music, a true match with the Battle of Britain!
battle of Britain was much better
@@jeremiahcleur356 The music of Battle of Britain sounds a little more German-prone. But everything depends on each lister's taste.
I knew Ron in the fifties and sixties he was a superb composer arranger and conductor and a very nice person
This is awesome to have on in the background whilst playing World of Warplanes.
lovely video, for a magnificent suite
L'une des œuvres signées Ron Goodwin les plus marquantes. Quel brio dans le thème principal !!
One of the greatest war movies ever... read the book... I remember 617 squadron Dam Busters also...
This is a absolutely fantastic world War II Picture.. the great quote at the end after the squadron Didn't return. The commanding officer said. You can't kill a squadron.
C'était encore de la vraie musique et pas une bidouille d'ordinateur. Bravo.
The BSO of my favourite plane of WW2. 👍👍
Excelente música, es una fanfarria de lucha, honor y sacrificio.
Grest upbeat music thanks!
TREMENDA PARTITURA, PROPIA DE UNA PELICULA DE ACCION TREPIDANTE. GRACIAS FRED. MUY BUENA.
as if the love theme was not wrenching enough that piece for the conclusion of the film just tears... "You can't kill a squadron."
this i've got to get on CD and DVD!
This Courge did happen got bless 633 Squadron based on the men of Comonwealth Countries as together they make these Jugments together but not as world leadership but as a group of people at the time and for the good of mankind and in the name of Freedom
A recently remade film entitled, TOP GUN MAVERICK. Same plot line.
Not a very technically accurate movie, but a great story with an unbelievably sad ending
The Squadron never die.
I believe a clue is in the script at the beginning of the film about it being a tribute to the almost 56000 aircrew who never came home.
「633爆撃隊」のBGMだ。イイねこれも♪グッドウィン、グッジョブ♪
This movie 633 Squadron and Ice Station Zebra kind of foretold me of my future being dispatch to Holy Loch, Scotland in 1978 to defend Britain from Russian aggression.
Biggest hit theme song in Hong Kong during the mid 1960's.
Good enough but for me the main theme always sounds better played by a top of the range military band, rather than a symphony orchestra. The main theme may be one of the greatest ever written for French Horns.

If you read the book it starts with him entering the 'Mucky Duck,' and having a drink, it ends with his brothers coming out of their photographs. So yes he came home!
Tremenda la banda sonora de mi infancia, y con la edad suena muchísimo mejor.
The second best thing to happen in 1964 :)
I recall it as being 1962, because it was released the summer one of my brothers died from Leukamia and that sad event was September 1962!
my favourite plane ever, versatile, used for many purposes and apparently faster than a spitfire..the only draw back was it was made of wood, though bullets used to past straight through them they used to catch fire easily...agreed makes you prod to be British but we dont have blokes as tough this day and age

Average movie about a MAGNIFICENT aircraft entirely made of WOOD !
I'd love to find a new recording of it. On youtube they all sound like the orchestra being hidden in a cardboard box.
if this doesn't get you going nowt will.
Waiting to start playing Tailgunner...
#uptheirons
Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes beautiful beautiful beautiful beautiful beautiful beautiful beautiful ☮️☮️☮️☮️☮️☮️☮️👍
I too share Barry's exact sentiments. There is one flyable Mossie in the world, in Virginia
To my knowledge there is one in New Zealand . The Comemorative (Confederate)air Force had one many years ago not sure what happened perhalps a trade . Big mistake on their part its such a Gr8 aircraft !!!
Come by the "Military Aviation Museum" to see it fly during events!
EDIT: Located in Virginia Beach (Pungo), Virginia
Wrong... There's another one at the EAA museum in Oshkosh,Wi... Seen her
There's now three. Two in America, one in Canada.
Hasn't flown for years, and would require a strip down and a thorough overhaul first.
Daniel Sand there were no AA certificates in 1964 that came in 1970
there was a game in amstrad with the same theme in it. i couldn't remember its name.
I play every war game with this music
Lovely soundtrack, one of the best ever! And was later recycled for Star Wars :)
This part always gets to me -- 9:21
( this one too... 14:01) 😥
Every nation should always honour there heroes and in the 21st century there will be plenty of heroes who fight against the ET invasion. Go get them Heroes. Haha.
The Mosquito !
Utilizada en la publicidad de las fuerzas aereas argentinas en los años 80s.
Both the movie and score are similar the STAR WARS 1977
it was also used in Attack on the iron Coast another film from the same producer Walter Mirisch
The music was used without Ron's permission. He was unhappy about it.
Many a ruined airfix kit...😂😂😂...
And three genuine Mossies, that was the travesty of the film
anyone else play war thunder with this music
mosquitos over the berlin map
hell yeah!
+jacob mills I wish,BUT 10 GIGS OF HARD DRIVE,GEE WHILLICKERS!
jacob mills I play blazing angels two with it and always with the mossy in multiplayer
Yes of course I do.
Crap film but what music, especially from 14.00 onwards .A really great finale. thank you Ron Goodwin
You want a crap film? Try Lancaster Skies! Now that really is CRAP. If there was an Oscars etc; for crap that would take the whole bloody lot.
My mum saw this at the cinema in 1964, and later in a double bill with The Great Escape in 1967, 633 Squadron may have been the support film but its far and away better than The Great Escape which quiet frankly I think is very overrated but then again it is American
