Please tell us more, was it filmed in basingborn? How many b-17s did they actually have on set ? It’s such a special film for me I must have seen it hundreds of times
@@henner1231 It was filmed at RAF Binbrook in Lincolnshire. I think they had 5 flying B17's. One crashed during filming and was unfortunately destroyed. Everyone on board got out safely but it caught fire. I think that was owned by a French group who had flown it in specially for the film. The props team also built half a dozen flat cutouts on scaffolding seen in the background during the Amazing Grace drive. They fastened reflective film where the plexiglass would have been so that is reflected the light differently as the camera moved. They sent out groups of extras to stand by each cut out and had us look busy. They weren't 100% scale but you wouldn't know. They also had a B25 liberator there for aerial photography and a even a fake runway on raised tables for filming model scenes. As I said a great chance to see how everything worked behind the scenes.
@@tchaika2697 At eleven seconds in on this clip I'm the guy grabbing his hat at the bottom left whilst following after the jeep. My friend Ian and I held back until the end of this take in the hope we'd make it into the shot and we did. As extras we got to sit on the side lines and watch a lot of the aircraft preparation scenes being filmed close up. This 2 minute section took several days to film but looks very smooth and polished when edited together. I gained a lot of respect for the film crew watching them rigging every shot.
This is one of my favorite scenes. How packed that Jeep is isn’t far off from his packed the -17 was. They look like huge airplanes, but throw in 10 young men in combat gear, and it’s downright tiny. My mind thankfully didn’t have to contemplate such things when I was 18. All the respect in the world to those “boys.”
Hard to imagine that nowadays we have single-seat fighter planes that are a almost the same size (at least length-wise) of a 10-man WW2 bomber (I think there's less than half a meter difference between a Flanker and a Fortress, and the Tomcat was only like 3 meters shorter).
12 O clock high had the ground crews waiting in ambulances and bikes for the bombers to come back, then the sprang into action as soon as the first plane touched down
When my son was studying about WW2 , i had him watch my collection of war movies ,helped gim get a decent grade, and he loves watching the movies over and over
A friend of mines Grandfather was a Flight Engineer on a B-24J over Europe during WW2 and he told me that they used to sing this song before every mission as part of their "good luck" ritual. May ALL who flew during WW2 in all theaters of operations ALWAYS have clear blue skies and a tailwind.
Good luck ritual? It's as good as a prayer, if you ask me. Americans were more Christian back then than this limpid and insipid generation that in my opinion could never have accomplished a tenth of what their betters did back in the forties.
Raf binbrook looks so different now from when this was filmed, spent weekends there watching the lightnings take of from the crash gate with my dad.sadly he no longer with us but I regularly take a drive there just to remember.
I don’t know about the actor. As for the character, this was their 25th mission. If the plane was parked in the same place, he would have memorized the route.
The mechanics and other support crews, including the MOSTLY African-American personnel of the Red Ball Express, were TRULY TRULY among the MOST UNSUNG of World War II heroes!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
They were named "Red" after the Tuskegee Airmen 477th, who were bomber escorts. They painted the entire tail of their fighter planes tail RED. Which was really smart because even though they had the highest bomber return rates, no one gave them credit, until they had the red paint on the tail
I love this movie and i love all world War II movies there needs to be more . We need to Honor The greatest Generation we need to honor those who fought and died for us. I put this movie up there with the greats of World war II movies: Tora, Tora, Tora, Longest day, A Bridge Too Far, Twelve O'clock high, Patton. To name a few. They did a great job with this movie. Thank you all World War II Vets for your service and Sacrifice.
terrible disrespectful nonsense.. fictional characters and story.. Captain Dennis Dearborn... real name Robert Morgan, yes he really was a "Captain Morgan" co-pilot Luke Sinclair real name James Verinis didn't leave his post in combat, how disrespectful to say he did, Jimmy sat in his seat doing his job for the whole mission. Navigator Phil Lowenthon real name Charles Leighton was not drunk on mission again disrespect to a true hero. Bomber Val (almost a Doctor) Kowlowski real name Vincent Evens didn't lie about his qualifications when he joined the air force, in fact he was a haulage contractor. Radio man Danny Daly real name Robert Hanson wasn't wounded in combat. Tail Gunner Clay Busby real name John Quinlan didn't leave his post in combat also, he never lost the family farm in a card game, how disrespectful to say he did, he worked in a carpet shop before the war, his family were not farmers. Virge Hoogesteger real name Harold Loch top turret gunner. Richard Moore real name Cecil Scott Ball Turret Gunner. Gunner Jack Bocci real name Bill Winchell. Gunner Evgene McVey real name Scott Miller. the names of the real crew of the Belle should be remembered not the fantasy nonsense in this film.
@@gailraby1722 The character's names are fictional, true, but the story is completely real. Dresden was not massive bombed until 1945 but in 1943 there was an actual bombing mission over Germany, and it was the Belle's last operation. There is a documentary about that called "Memphis Belle. A story about a Flying Fortress" and it was made before the Dresden massive bombing. More information here en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memphis_Belle:_A_Story_of_a_Flying_Fortress#
I need to buy this movie, next to Saving Private Ryan this is my 2nd favorite WWII film, and by far the best one that tells the story of the USAF boys and what they went through.
AMEN!!! TRULY TRULY they WERE the GREATEST generation!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸. However, PLEASE PLEASE don’t forget that we had GREAT GREAT military service personnel in Korea, Vietnam, Desert Storm, Enduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
They had only five B-17 (in the beginning, one crashed and burned during the filming), but by clever editing, a few large "mock ups" in the background and some large models, there seems to be many more of them.
Is it weird I like the Fife and Drum version of Amazing Grace rather than the Bagpipes version? I think it is fitting for a Civil War movie (Like during the funeral of a fallen army officer). I am imagining a funeral wagon carrying the corpse of a slain general inside a coffin draped in the Union or Confederate flag with the soldiers he commanded marching behind the wagon as the fife and drum corps is playing Amazing Grace escorting their commander to grave.
If you've never seen one, those B-17s aren't as big as you'd think them to be, especially when seen up close, & are even smaller on the inside (as matter of fact pretty cramped); the B-24s are hardly any different...
If you watch the dambuster movie from the 1950s, Michael caton Jones the director of Memphis belle recreated the bit when the boys are going out on the bombing raid he also through the music recreated the feeling
still my all time favorite version of this song was disappointed with the soundtrack to the movie though cause t doesn't have the part with the guys singing it it they should have included that part!
I wonder how many hungover airmen fell rather unceremoniously on their faces trying to jump up into that lower nose hatch-or tried hurting themselves when their nerves finally gave out to get grounded.
WHEN WE’VE BEEN THERE TEN THOUSAND YEARS BRIGHT SHINING AS THE SUN!!! WE’VE NO LESS DAYS TO SING GOD’S PRAISE THAN WE FIRST BEGUN!! HOLY HOLY HOLY IS THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY WHO WAS, WHO IS AND WHO IS TO COME!!! 🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Как ветеран Б-17 сказал - такая дверь в пилотской кабине действительно есть, чтобы быстро выпрыгивать с парашютом. Но на вас будут эти тёплые вещи, парашют, планшет и ещё куча барахла. И, раз попробовав запрыгнуть С ЗЕМЛИ ВНУТРЬ, вы бы моментально перестали пытаться исполнить этот гимнастический трюк с диким извивом из кое-каких фильмов. Вы бы просто входили в дверь в фюзеляже как и все нормальные члены экипажа. :-)
Folks, I am looking for another really old movie about B-17 crew - it was kind of fiction, I just remember they draw on the paper the missing wheel to save blocked bottom gunman after landing - if somebody can give a link/clue I will be very appreciated
That was an episode of a TV anthology series called Amazing Stories. I believe Steven Spielberg wrote that episode. Here is the IMDB link: www.imdb.com/title/tt0511124/?ref_=nm_flmg_act_44
I was an extra in this movie like many other locals. I'm even in this scene. The most amazing summer job ever... wonderful memories.

AMEN!!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸. SAME goes for the British/British Commonwealth boys as well!!! 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
My thoughts exactly, also thought of those submarine movies, when i actually walked through a WW2 sub and saw how cramped it was
Hard to imagine that nowadays we have single-seat fighter planes that are a almost the same size (at least length-wise) of a 10-man WW2 bomber (I think there's less than half a meter difference between a Flanker and a Fortress, and the Tomcat was only like 3 meters shorter).
The only service movie that I've ever seen the ground crew
The ground crews were TRULY unsung heroes!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Top gun?? Has ground crew
12 O clock high had the ground crews waiting in ambulances and bikes for the bombers to come back, then the sprang into action as soon as the first plane touched down
The only thing I enjoyed from the Red Tails was the ground crew. A Wing and a Prayer had good crew chiefs.
Watch the Battle of Britain
This has got to be thr best b-17 movie!
its the greatest b-17 movie of all time!
"Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound, that saved a wretch like me, and was once was lost but now am found, was blind but now I see"
The pastor in my town wrote that.
Man, you can watch this movie a 100 times and never tire of it.
That acrobatic plane enter is amazing! Such athletes
Great cast, great production team, great music, great movie. To me it goes right up there with Saving Private Ryan.
Its much more realistic than this CGI fucking shit today.
When my son was studying about WW2 , i had him watch my collection of war movies ,helped gim get a decent grade, and he loves watching the movies over and over
I have first time to heard the amazing grace in this movie!
best movie ever best music ever ...

We call it " Danny Boy" it's a old Irish song with long deep memoirs of the loses. l love that song, it brings me to tears.
@@olivealbers2478 Do you know where I can find it in the same way they sing it in the movie?
There will never be a greater choir than a group of soldiers.
When they harmonise on “I once was lost but now am found.” It sounds so “down home good ol’ boy.”
What they did along with bomber command, was unbelievable. Brave brave men. How they recovered is beyond the pale.
Wow...love Harry Connick Jr and absolutely love this scene.
To me, this is the best scene of Memphis Belle
EVERY MOMENT OF THIS FILM IS SUPERB. tHE PRODUCERS ACTUALLY FOUND 3 B-17'S STILL IN FULL WORKING ORDER ! JUST A GREAT, GREAT, FILM. -----MJL, 77 Y/O

you like fictional war movies then ?
Memphis Belle Hollywood film is disrespectful nonsense.
It's called the Army Air Force back then. The USAF started in 1947.

Such an Amazing Movie I have it on Vhs
the nostalgia is amazing! I grew up watching this....even tho im 13

Cool scene. You don’t find it these days in the fast mover jets or B-52 crews.
Once again the greatest generation fulfilling their honor.
Those guys sing beautifully
I’ve been in a one before and man oh man it is tight!
Obito Uchiha where?
I was direct flightline support 63FS, and it's nice to see the ground crew working on the birds.

the crew in the film are all completely fictional, as is their back stories as is the events of the Memphis Belle's final combat mission.
