Thank you Malcolm, you are a true legend. My boyfriend was in the RAF, and eventually became a pilot (Squadron Leader). Sadly, he suffers from Post Combat Stress Disorder as a result. Thanks for being one of Britains greatest actors, and thanks for understanding a pilots "lot" in both world wars. Wayne. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡❤️❤️❤️❤️
Group Captain Dennis David was the technical Advisor for this film and served as a fighter pilot throughout WW2. I knew him personally and he was a wonderful, warm human being.
Ive always admired this guy for the truly iconic, great actor he is !!! After watching this cant help but think how amazing it would be to have a few beers in the pub, talk through all manner of things lol Seems a really remarkable guy... Imagine the stories !!!!! One of a kind !
A great film - I can’t think of a better depiction of WW1 fliers than Aces High. The Blue Max was excellent but I feel that this movie had a real and raw edge not seen before. Malcolm you were excellent in it as was Peter Firth and Christopher Plummer. A worthy classic which will always stand the test of time - well done to all involved; Bravo !
In my opinion of the greatest anti-war films ever with the perfect casting of the finest actors of their generation. Croft is the innocent, decent and honorable child pilot who is a sacrificial lamb in a disastrous, horrific, and tragic war led by indifferent, bombastic generals. I particularly remember the reply Gresham got when trying to get the top brass to issue parachutes. An incredibly moving and poignant film that I never tire of watching.
REACH FOR THE SKY - another marvellous story of war and determination. Kenneth More is perfect in it. This film has been on so many times - you joke it should be renamed REACH FOR THE BLEACH !
USN Aviator. Retired. The determined grit, of the flyers I knew was much more hard, then depicted in this film. I was fully expecting to be killed. It relieved my mind of "what if's" I could completely concentrate on the task at hand.
looking to find the name of a series i watched a few years ago. WW1 British airman series, very excellent . In the 70,s. I should like like to watch it again.
The Bader Colditz story is not correct, his missing right tin leg was dropped close to St Omer during a bombing raid, well before he arrived in Colditz, Bader was hated by most officers and men who met him for his pompous arrogance, but yes he was brave
just watched it & yes really great flying can't believe I didn't know about it even a little, LOVE THE JOKE HE PLAYED ON Plummer man was I laughing! I could picture it perfectly having seen the scene as well made it even funnier
Μια πολυ ενδιαφερουσα συνεντευξη που εδωσε ο διασημος ηθοποιος Μαλκομ ΜακΝταουελ,στις 9 Ιουνιου 2020,για το πως γυριστηκε μια απο τις καλυτερες ταινιες στην ιστορια του Κινηματογραφου,με θεμα τον 1ο Παγκοσμιο Πολεμο,το"Aces HIGH"του 1976,σε σκηνοθεσια Τζακ Γκολντ,και που ειναι μια απο τις πολλες αγαπημενες μου Κινηματογραφικες επιλογες.
Είναι σπουδαία ταινία. Αλλά για μένα, είναι λίγο ρεαλιστικό, επειδή υπάρχει μια μάλλον καταθλιπτική και τραγική ατμόσφαιρα που τρέχει μέσα από αυτό από την αρχή μέχρι το τέλος. Όσο περισσότερο το βλέπω, τόσο λιγότερο εύκολα νιώθω.

Aces High - seems very realistic and exposed the horrors of war in the Royal Flying Corps in WW1
Malcom McDowell was excellent as the CO of 76 Squadron RFC rank of major, Major Gresham
Thank you Malcolm, you are a true legend.
My boyfriend was in the RAF, and eventually became a pilot (Squadron Leader).
Sadly, he suffers from Post Combat Stress Disorder as a result.
Thanks for being one of Britains greatest actors, and thanks for understanding a pilots "lot" in both world wars.

Congratulations to him❤
I think I've probably watched Aces High about 20 times. I watch it every time it is on TV. The Dogfight cinematography was tip top.
Group Captain Dennis David was the technical Advisor for this film and served as a fighter pilot throughout WW2. I knew him personally and he was a wonderful, warm human being.
I watched this movie three times, never got bored by it, and plan to watch it again.
Me too

Love the story of him pranking Plummer.

Just saw Aces high! Excellent film! Malcolm was fantastic!
I remember watching the film at the cinema as an excited teen in 1976 when it first came out with Grandad - happy times .
Thank you for this footage. Malxolm is also an icon. So interesting to listen to him.
Great actor, Clockwork orange, IF and Aces High 😮 K
Bader was credited with 22 aerial victories, four shared victories, six probables, one shared probable and 11 enemy aircraft damaged.
A great interview. Much information has come forth. Thank you for putting it here!
Brilliant film
REACH FOR THE SKY - another marvellous story of war and determination. Kenneth More is perfect in it.

Great movie. I thought Malcom McDowell's portrayal of Gresham was excellent. Didn't even think he was acting.
Thanks for sharing this!
This was a good movie. Gresham was done very well.
Brilliant film.Another good flying aces film was the earlier 1930 film Dawn Patrol.But Flying Aces is the best.
Great movie...
Thanks for letting him just talk :)
Flight Lieutenant Colin Gerald Shaw Hodgkinson, was another RAF pilot without legs!
Love him!
An auld classic

I found it! It's called "Wings"
Very nice movie 👏👏

6:11 what car was it? The "auto generated" closed captions here say "Elvis car" which is obviously wrong. What did he say?
Alvis.
Can anyone tell me this aircraft sound in the video is from which real aircraft?
which sound is used in the aerial combat scenes of airplanes? can someone tell me?
just watched it & yes really great flying can't believe I didn't know about it even a little, LOVE THE JOKE HE PLAYED ON Plummer man was I laughing! I could picture it perfectly having seen the scene as well made it even funnier
Way better than the blue max
I don't know, The Blue Max was damn good.
