A brand-new 75th anniversary restoration of a much-loved British classic with local connections (it was filmed on Derwent reservoir). Michael Anderson’s 1955 drama captures the tension and bravery of an audacious raid on the centre of Nazi Germany’s industrial complex and the quintessentially English combination of inventiveness and dogged determination.
