Gert Fröbe und Terry-Thomas, wahrlich die highlights in diesem fantastischen, kurzweiligen Epos 👍

Such incredible planes, stunts and photography! No CGI crap. Just the real thing.

I mentioned this movie to a German friend while we were visiting the Messerschmitt Museum in Munich many years ago. I was afraid he would get offended to be reminded of how the Germans portrayed themselves in this film. But no - he laughed out loud, saying he'd never seen anything so hilarious. Apparently, Germans were able to laugh at themselves seeing this movie. God bless them.

I love the film so much as well. This one and the great race: magnificent!!!

Along with THE GREAT RACE, one of my all time favourites.....never tire of watching both. Terry Thomas...so sadly missed....what a wonderful villian.

Gert Fröbe .... Wie ich ihn bewundere , einmalig , er konnte alles spielen . Toller Film !

One of my top 10 films of all time! And it has my favourite film quote ever - Lord Rawnsley (Robert Morley) speaking about the Air Race "The trouble with these international affairs is that they attract foreigners" :-)

Still one of the best movies ever made, star studded.

One of the best films ever made what a cast, what fun ! Thanks

Gert Fröbe, best german actor

My neighbour played the german staff car driver in the film. Also played one of the german ground crew.

Loved the film when it came out. I have the DVD and watch it occasionally. Some scenes were matted shots but the actual flying planes were cool.

Camera car, Citroen, the best for no shake work.

It was a simply "Magnificent" film!

Interesting shots. One of my favourite caper films of the 60s.

Great film. I miss the old days

Nice photos of a great movie ! Must have been hard work but fun to make !

Thanks for inside scenes of one of my all time favorite movies!

This film is a hoot! 🏆🇬🇧

There is nothing a German officer cannot do!

Holy Underwear, Batman ! What a sheer and utter delight to watch this video ! It has made my day, my week & my weekend ! I went to a downtown theater as a kid and watched this classic comedy in 1965 when it was first released. Enjoyed it so much ! For some reason I have never seen it shown on TV. I can remember the theme & so many scenes SO very well ! Wonderful ariel photography of so many vintage planes and what a superb cast: Stuart Whitman, Sarah Miles, Robert Morley, Terry-Thomas, James Fox, Gert Frobe, etc ! And to see so many marvelous behind the scenes still is super groovy ! THANK YOU so much for sharing with us ! :-)

Thanks for posting these photos - one of my all time favorite movies.

One of my top three favourite films !

I watched it last weekend after.......nearly 50 years! So good! Terry-Thomas, such bounder! (and you better pronounce it 'biyender' or we can't be friends)

00:24 Using a citroen for steady motion shots, capital idea! That hydropneumatic suspension'll do it.

einer der besten filme die jemals gedreht wurden

Nice to see a photo of Tony Hancock!

Einfach mega der Film....konnte immer herrlich Lachen 🤣🤣🤣

looks like it was fun shooting that movie

Excellent film

Bro idk how I got over here lol but one of the best movies behind Bed knobs & Broomsticks

Terry-Thomas, Benny Hill, Robert Morley, Gert Fröbe, Eric Sykes, Tony Hancock, Red Skelton, ... Was there anyone who wasn't in this film?

1:09 To the left, the phenomenal Gert Fröbe!

I was a kid when it came out terrific pics

Irina Demick, what a stunningly beautiful woman

i say , what an absolute shower! Terry Thomas was a god !

Dash it all, some cad looks remarkably familiar in this moving picture!

Wonderful❤

How Great is That.

Fun fact: A lot of the airplanes have continuity errors. They first tried to use the original designs as much as possible, but were forced to modify them, because most were barely airworthy and not at all able to do what the production crew needed them to do.

Terry Thomas was the greatest. Such a very sad end!

thank you! very nice

Derek Piggot advised on and flew several of the aeroplanes that were built for this film which was a risky business.

BEATINFULL

The good old days! No CGI, No woke nonsense, A Great film combining a poke at British eccentricities, inginuity and a sense of fun.

At 0:17 Jean-Pierre Cassel (who played French pilot Pierre Dubois) poses with Joan Hughes, the wartime flying instructor who actually piloted the Santos-Dumont Demoiselle replica in the movie. According to Wikipedia: The replica of the Santos-Dumont Demoiselle, a forerunner of today's ultralight aircraft, was unable to leave the ground except in short hops. Extending the wingspan and fitting a more powerful Ardem 50 hp engine produced only marginal improvement." Further research found out that: "the Demoiselle's designer and first pilot, Alberto Santos-Dumont was a very short, slightly built man. A suitably small pilot, Joan Hughes, a wartime member of the Air Transport Auxiliary who was the Airways Flying Club chief instructor, was hired. With the reduced payload, the diminutive Demoiselle flew very well, and Hughes proved a consummate stunt flyer, able to undertake exacting manoeuvres." In the movie, the French aircraft flew amazing maneuvers, aiming to hit Benny Hill at the control tower and missing him by a few inches; flying closely over Terry-Thomas' head (Sir Percy) causing him to slide down the roof of his hangar. What a woman pilot! Of course you never see her face in the movie. What you see is Cassel, sitting at the pit, naughtily laughing his heart out.

Fun!!

Sir Percy Ware-Armitage- Don't you think people mulled that over and got the joke? Armitage ware- a maker of toilet bowls.

1:10 Mr Goldfinger

Loverly!

Who invited that bounder Sir Percy!

Mote carlo or bust was another fantastic film

Magnificent

1:32 Yujiro Ishihara 🇯🇵

Such a pity Tony Hancock have more screen time.

Ding dong

Everything I know about ethnic stereotypes I leaned from TMMITFM

Lack of Health and Safety ?
