Anyone else here because they saw this one like 30 years ago and the tune STILL jumps without any mercy to your brain and sticks there for a whole week at least?
My uncle had been an amateur pilot since he was a teenager in the 50's, he really loved ultralight/microlight planes in particular, which to me always looked like something out of a cartoon. When he passed away in 2011, this was his funeral song, it always makes me smile when I hear this song.
How to be a magnificent man in your flying machine. - Own a Sopwith Camel - Have a ruddy good mustache. - Perform daring stuns, such as a loop - Enchant all of the ladies with your charming wit - Be a flying ace shooting down the damn Jerries!
A great theme song of one of those star-studded, big-budgeted, historically heightened spectacles you don't see on the big or small screen anymore, in today's hyper-digitized, video-gamed age. Thanks for reviving this!
We had an engineering contest at work the other day involving paper airplanes.....this was the first song in my head that came to mind, haha. LOVED this movie as a kid:-)
I remembered this movie as a kid, and of course this fantastic theme song! I think I taped it off the TV so I could sing it around the house all day! ^_^
A great film. I'm only 20, but was introduced to the film as a 6 year old and it has stuck with me ever since. I remember convincing my grade 5 class to watch it. I found it hilarious, but unfortunately not too many of my classmates seemed to overly enjoy it.
"Up, down, flying around! Looping the loop and defying the ground! They're all, Arthur!" "Frightfully keen!" "Those magnificent men, those magnificent men, those magnificent men in their flyyyyiiiing machiiiiiines!" Great moment, or greatest moment?
Gert Fröbe as Colonel Manfred von Holstein. We will never forget him! Even as Auric Goldfinger in 007’s Goldfinger! “I expect you to die, Mr. Bond!” Greetings from Germany!
I can remember my heavily pregnant mother, myself and my brother seeing this in the cinema all those years ago, and my mother laughing so much that she nearly went into labour! Luckily my sister was born without incident sometime later!
favorite moments are for Gert Frobe's scenes. I got the DVD and he improvised the bit where he made sounds with his mouth while marching and they kept it, and when reading the flying manual he said Step one: sit down, improvising and they kept it. then the scene where he is in the airplane while it's upside down and he walks on water it was not all stunt man, he did some of it
Saw this 5 times in one week, emigrating to Canada for the second time on the 'Empress Of Canada' this was mid-summer 1965. One of 4 or 5 movies they played every day during the crossing. Damn fine movie!
@@jamesharding3459 It's just a typo you absolute knob, congratulations on being the first person in 8 years to feel like they need to ruin the fun by commenting on it I guess!
A wonderful experience..watching the movie and living the fantasies !!! A salute to the great men and women..and the Air Machines which participated in the great epic :))
Lyrics: Those magnificent men in their flying machines, they go up tiddly up up, they go down tiddly down down. They enchant all the ladies and steal all the scenes, with their up tiddly up up and their down tiddly down down. Up, down, flying around, looping the loop and defying the ground. They're all frightfully keen, those magnificent men in their flying machines. They can fly upside down with their feet in the air, they don't think of danger, they really don't care. Newton would think he had made a mistake, to see those young men and the chances they take. Those magnificent men in their flying machines, they go up tiddly up up, they go down tiddly down down. They enchant all the ladies and steal all the scenes, with their up tiddly up up and their down tiddly down down. Up, down, flying around, looping the loop and defying the ground. They're all frightfully keen, those magnificent men in their flying machines. Those magnificent men in their flying machines. They go up tiddly up up, they go down tiddly down down. Those magnificent men, those magnificent men, those magnificent men in their flying machines.
I remember seeing the movie when it first came out and loving it. I wonder how well it’s held up over the years. Usually when I go back and see a movie from my youth I’m disappointed with it.
I think the world needs more of this style. And we need to get the Carry on films back in production. The spirit of film making just isn't like this and the Carry On films anymore. Granted I'd be hard pushed to come up with a cast
My mum took me to see it back in the late sixties and i feel in love with it . I watched it on DVD recently and I still feel the same . The only sad part is that my mum isn't around to see it anymore.
This film and Blake Edwards' The Great Race (1965) were clear inspirations for two of my favourite cartoons; Wacky Races and Dastardly & Muttley In Their Magnificent Flying Machines.
...you missed "Those Daring Young Men in their Jaunty Jalopies," aka "Monte Carlo or Bust!", with the same producer, director, and most of the same cast; and Jimmy Durante with the theme song.
The real magnificent film on magnificent men and their flying machines! Totally love it!! The only thing I’ve got to say pity is that the advanced Japanese aeroplane with Yujiro Ishihara couldn’t make it even to the Dover Channel.
Those magnificent men in their flying machines, They go up diddley up-up, they go down diddley down-down!

I am 63 years old and my late mother worked for a company South African consolidate films she brought the movie hom and we watched it I was 11years at that time and after all these years I still enjoy this movie
Skvělý film se super atmosférou. Pamatuju si. Jak jsem na koukal jako dítě někdy v 90.letech. Už tehdy to bylo staré, ale to nevadilo. Je to skvostně natočené.
I have absolutely no clue who this squire chap is but he's obviously seen one my absolute childhood favorites. Glad other people are discovering this wonderful classic.
"Those Magnificent Men..." is THIS tune for the movie (of the same name) about flying. "Markh5682" IS in fact correct: the car race movie is "Monte Carlo or Bust" everywhere but in the USA, where is was retitled "Those Daring Young Men...". Both the flying movie AND the car movie were comedies starring Terry Thomas and Eric Sykes. Both are family-friendly comedies worth seeing with a catchy theme song.
Actually, Joseph Hanna and William Barbera have stated that Jack Lemmon's "Professor Fate" in "The Great Race" (1965) was the inspiration for Dick Dastardly (and, incidentally Tony Curtis' "The Great Leslie" inspired Peter Perfect).
I'll never forget Morley's line,"The trouble with international events is that they bring so many foreigners together. " True, but it was delightful to watch the national traits of the competitors, English, French, German, and a Japanese too. I'd like to know where a DVD of this delightful movie can be bought in India.
Thanks for posting this, I've loved this since I was little...its a pity that they probably won't have a shin-dig to celebrate the 100yrs since it happened (yes, it really did happen); they did a fly-over back in the early 90's but with the way of the world at the moment, it might be deemed misplaced & unimportant?! Pity, as I think it would be fun to see all those old planes go up again & do that dangerous 22 miles of sea LOL! Thanks again.
Those magnificent men in their flying machines, They go up-tiddly-up-up, they go down-tiddly-own-down They enchant all the ladies and steal the scene With their up-tiddly-up-up, and their down-tiddly-own-down Up!

I actually watched it like 55 years ago, but yes!
So true man. Watched it about 40 years back.I still remember count emilio ponticelli .
I actually heard it from a series of Winnie the Pooh YTPs called “Pinnie the Whoo” 😅
I'm only 19 in the first place but I love the film and song.
Happy days a classic, still makes you happy, brilliant
A film that reminds us that technology that’s routinely seen nowadays was once something only daredevils attempted.
Look to the history of the car, and especially those who did the first cross country trips
Just a great British film with a top quality cast ,it can't ever be repeated
My uncle had been an amateur pilot since he was a teenager in the 50's, he really loved ultralight/microlight planes in particular, which to me always looked like something out of a cartoon. When he passed away in 2011, this was his funeral song, it always makes me smile when I hear this song.
this is definitely the type of song you do NOT want to play at a funeral
Absolutely. My kinda bloke. This is the tune I want to be played as I'm loaded into the furnace as well
Он был Романтиком!
I believe my next-door neighbour had a minor pilot's licence of some description.
How to be a magnificent man in your flying machine.
- Own a Sopwith Camel
- Have a ruddy good mustache.
- Perform daring stuns, such as a loop
- Enchant all of the ladies with your charming wit
- Be a flying ace shooting down the damn Jerries!
Wojtek The Bear You treat a Sopwith Camel like you treat your lady: get inside 5 times a day and take her to heaven.
Richardsen Sqire reference?
TheNuggetThatCould
Indeed!
Richardsen Actually it's a Blackadder reference, referenced by the one and only Squire
Darjeeling of St. Gloriana
Thanks for the correction! I have heard nice things about Blackadder, I need to find sometime to watch it one day.
I love old movies like this one. It's odd I'm 18 but I love old movies and music kinda makes me not fit in but to hell with that
I'm 20 and also watch old movies and feel the same way.
A great theme song of one of those star-studded, big-budgeted, historically heightened spectacles you don't see on the big or small screen anymore, in today's hyper-digitized, video-gamed age. Thanks for reviving this!

+StormLaker1975 This will give you the edge in case such engineering contest takes places again: imgur.com/gallery/jhpLS
Huge mid sixties comedy, a wealth of comic talent, highly enjoyable
I remembered this movie as a kid, and of course this fantastic theme song! I think I taped it off the TV so I could sing it around the house all day! ^_^
Terry Thomas was superb in this movie.
The theme song for tier 1 arcade games in war thunder
I was just playing this to my friend while we were playing😂😂😂
Let at those boys fly!
When you see gladiators in a jet match
they're so fun to kill
Gunnar anderson I agree jets are fun to kill in biplanes
This is my all time favourite film. Good theme tune, and great comedy.
If wasn't for Squire, I wouldn't know about this... magnificent movie.
same here!

Good old Squire.

Purtroppo ciò che vola non interessa quasi a nessuno. Questo perche' forse non sanno sognare. Quindi non immaginano né creano..... Ciao.
What a fabulous tune.
I could listen to it all day long.
Blessings from Wolverhampton England to you all.
I will be listening to it all day. "They go up diddy up up they go down. . .
You could say it's a "magnificent" tune
Terry Thomas RIP , a thoroughly great man!!!!!
"Up, down, flying around! Looping the loop and defying the ground! They're all, Arthur!"
"Frightfully keen!"
"Those magnificent men, those magnificent men, those magnificent men in their flyyyyiiiing machiiiiiines!"
Great moment, or greatest moment?
BRILLIANT!
Yessssss
The lemon is in play....
Here I am don't tread on me
Arthur is technically only a VERY helpful Passenger
I remember this was on BBC 2 just before Christmas around 6 years ago, never heard of it before and decided to watch it. Absolutely loved it.
Gert Fröbe as Colonel Manfred von Holstein. We will never forget him!
Even as Auric Goldfinger in 007’s Goldfinger!
“I expect you to die, Mr. Bond!”
Greetings from Germany!
One of the catchiest songs I've ever heard. Best thing is, I saw the whole movie. It was magnificent...with those men and their flying machines. :3
This film brings new meaning to "flying circus"
I can remember my heavily pregnant mother, myself and my brother seeing this in the cinema all those years ago, and my mother laughing so much that she nearly went into labour! Luckily my sister was born without incident sometime later!
Did she become a pilot?Almost guaranteed!Thanks
I watched this with my father for the first time around 10 years ago and since then I've listened to this theme about a thousand times!
favorite moments are for Gert Frobe's scenes. I got the DVD and he improvised the bit where he made sounds with his mouth while marching and they kept it, and when reading the flying manual he said Step one: sit down, improvising and they kept it. then the scene where he is in the airplane while it's upside down and he walks on water it was not all stunt man, he did some of it

Fabulous film!! Terry Thomas at his best, god rest his soul.
Such an underrated movie, both as a comedy and an insight into the thinking of the nations involved at the time.
Lord I miss those days
Absolutely superb!!!! Have never tired of this film. Terry Thomas RIP
"I don't care how many times they go up didley up they're still gits" Love Balckadder :P

Most if not all of the aircraft from this film ended up in The Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome in Rhinebeck, New York. I saw them there about 35 years ago.
I finally saw this film yesterday, it was BRILLIENT!!!!
I only saw the film last month but I instantly fell in love with it!
Great stuff!!
Welcome to a large group of people who love this film.
I remember this being on a video I had when I was little. I heard it on Cabin Pressure and was reminded of how much I love it.
A wonderful experience..watching the movie and living the fantasies !!! A salute to the great men and women..and the Air Machines which participated in the great epic :))
It's so catchy. Just cant stop -those magnificent men in their flying machines- singing it.
This was my maternal grandfather’s favorite movie of all time. He always got a kick out of it
Lyrics:
Those magnificent men in their flying machines,
they go up tiddly up up,
they go down tiddly down down.
They enchant all the ladies and steal all the scenes,
with their up tiddly up up and
their down tiddly down down.
Up, down, flying around,
looping the loop and defying the ground.
They're all frightfully keen,
those magnificent men in their flying machines.
They can fly upside down with their feet in the air,
they don't think of danger, they really don't care.
Newton would think he had made a mistake,
to see those young men and the chances they take.
Those magnificent men in their flying machines,
they go up tiddly up up,
they go down tiddly down down.
They enchant all the ladies and steal all the scenes,
with their up tiddly up up and
their down tiddly down down.
Up, down, flying around,
looping the loop and defying the ground.
They're all frightfully keen,
those magnificent men in their flying machines.
Those magnificent men in their flying machines.
They go up tiddly up up,
they go down tiddly down down.
Those magnificent men,

Ten points if this was Arthur Shappey's favourite movie when he was a little boy
I saw this film over 20 years ago....I was 10 years old....this song stuck in my head all this time....amazing...thanks for the post
Is it weird that I keep getting this song in my head whenever I see gameplay footage of Star Wars Squadrons?
"Those Magnificent Men..." is THIS tune for the movie (of the same name) about flying.

I don't who this "Squire" fellow is, but this is one of my favorite movies!
Terry Thomas, what a cad!.
still remember watching this movie in the theatre when i was kid lmao
My Dad has told me of his fond memory seeing this film at age 8 with his father in 1965
This song is an amazing joyous outburst.
Very catchy theme song!! Reminds me of Mitch Miller's Sing Along with Mitch albums and a TV show in the US.
It’s been a catchy theme for over a half a century. It will still be catchy in a hundred more years.
One of my favorite films ❤❤❤
I'll never forget Morley's line,"The trouble with international events is that they bring so many foreigners together. "
True, but it was delightful to watch the national traits of the competitors, English, French, German, and a Japanese too.
I'd like to know where a DVD of this delightful movie can be bought in India.
That is such a good film. Even the theme makes me smile.
Thanks for posting this, I've loved this since I was little...its a pity that they probably won't have a shin-dig to celebrate the 100yrs since it happened (yes, it really did happen); they did a fly-over back in the early 90's but with the way of the world at the moment, it might be deemed misplaced & unimportant?!
