I enjoyed your review, Nikolaj. Thank you! I haven't seen "The Sound Barrier." Based on your video, I'd like to, and I will if I come across it. After watching your video, I read a little bit about the film. It was released in the US with the titles "Breaking Through the Sound Barrier" and "Breaking the Sound Barrier" and did well at the box office. In the film, a fictional pilot is the first to break the sound barrier. The film was released in 1952, and I know that by then real life pilots had already broken the sound barrier. The first undisputed person to officially do so was Chuck Yeager in 1947. That needn't detract from the film even though it is not completely historically accurate. I am sure that the depiction of the testing, attempts, and dangers are very exciting, as you say. I am hoping that I can find "The Sound Barrier" streaming somewhere. I haven't really looked much yet, but I will. On another note, I have a memory of the first time I heard an airplane break the sound barrier. It was in the 1950s when I was a child playing in our backyard. My dad was outside too. I saw a plane zoom over and a second or two after it had passed overhead there was the loud noise. Dad commented that the plane was breaking the sound barrier and that what that meant was that the plane was traveling faster than sound. That all sounded quite fascinating to my young mind. I don't remember if my dad said anything about where the aircraft came from, but looking back, I am thinking that it probably came from the Air Force base. We were living in the Washington, DC, metro area. Planes flying over our house breaking the sound barrier happened a number of times during the 1950s and early 1960s, while I was still living there.
Thanks Julie! I made a small mistake in my review, when I said "His father" instead of "her father", since Ralph Richardson playes Ann Todds father in the film. But do theck the film out, if you can. I think you will enjoy it. It sounds very interesting to hear about your experience as a child. I would imagine it must have been a fascinating experience to hear about, when you were at that age.
@@thefilmclassic4210 I do hope I find the film streaming somewhere, hopefully on a free service or one that I already subscribe to. By the way, I see that you currently have 499 subscribers! In no time you will pass that 500 milestone! Congratulations on the continued growth of your channel. 👍
@@julieborel3043 Thank you very much Julie! Yes, it is very nice and in some ways a bit unreal. Last year I got my first 100, so it is great that I have gotten some wonderful support since then. It is because of people like you, that I feel motivated to continue making videos 🙂
