Title: BioPic of WWII Fighter Pilot Douglas Bader
Review: My Dad had wanted to see "Reach for the Sky" for years, but it's not on the incessant repeat cycle on TV, and it's not available in US-format DVD. Thanks to Amazon's Video-on-Demand option, we were finally able to see this excellent film. It avoids the home-front romance of many films of its type, focusing on Douglas Bader's ultimately successful struggle to overcome an apparent disability to prove to himselve and others that disabled does not mean unable to excel. Reach for the Sky is also superb in that Bader's injury is part of his character, but not the only reason for the movie. I'd put this alongside 12 O'Clock High, The Dam Busters and other excellent WWII movies.Reach For The Sky
