(1930) SUB. followed by 'Aces High based on RC Sherriff's classic play Journey's End. A newly commissioned Royal Flying Corps officer is posted to a squadron in France commanded by his former public-school house captain. He finds that his former idol has become brutally disillusioned. With Malcolm McDowell, Christopher Plummer, Simon Ward, Peter Firth, and John Gielgud. (1977) AD SUB REP' ITV4 Regards Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seadog Posted 3 October , 2010 Share Posted 3 October , 2010 According to the TV guides this is in fact a TV Movie (TVM) made in 1979, still worth a look. Norman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhifle Posted 3 October , 2010 Author Share Posted 3 October , 2010 Hi, Yes 'Aces High' looks like the TV movie but I think 'All Quiet On The Western Front' is the 1930 version Regards Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seadog Posted 3 October , 2010 Share Posted 3 October , 2010 Hi Mark I think I am in danger of sounding like a bit of a nerd so I promise that this will be my last post on the subject: All Quiet on the Western Front is listed as a TVM (1979) and Aces High (1976) is definitely a cinema movie. Both will be well worth a look and I love the flying shots in "Aces" never mind the historical accuracy or not. Have a nice day! Norman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seadog Posted 3 October , 2010 Share Posted 3 October , 2010 Hi Mark, you were right All Quiet is the original, not a 1979 TVM. I have had another look at the TV guide and I am looking forward to “Antiques Roadshow on Ice” BBC1 7.30 tonight!!. Regards Norman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
