Australian Classic Restoration Movie Co.

Presenting our Cinephile 4K Series

Although many of the titles in this range are available on standard Blu Ray by the major studios, none so far have been released in 4K.

We wanted to do something special for our loyal customers and film fans worldwide, so working with new technology, we produced an exclusive series of outstanding movies in 4k 3840 x 1744 resolution. Most are in Dolby 5.1 audio with beautiful images, perfect whites, deepest blacks and brilliant colours.

However, these classic movies fall just short of full UHD but are extremely popular as no retail 4K versions exist. If you expect a full blown 4K then sorry but that is not possible at the moment, but these releases are far superior to any DVD and better than any standard Blu Ray.

Please note that the amount of memory required to produce these on a Blu Ray disc, prevents us offering a menu but there is a full chapter list.

Depending on the original make up of these movies, we use HDR10 to produce these discs.

Some budget 4k TVs do not accept these formats and therefore we must ask that you carefully check that your TV and 4K player will accept these formats before buying the movies.

Postage on any returns, caused by this issue, will have to be paid by the purchaser  So check your TV First .

A SPAIN  AND OZ PRODUCTION 

Battle of Britain succeeds in giving the general impression of a pivotal historical moment, and excels in crafting some of the most astonishing aerial-warfare sequences ever put on film.

In terms of production design, costumes, and especially vehicles, Hamilton's film is handsomely mounted. An exhaustive search landed the production a fleet of aircraft that at its time ranked as the 11th largest air force in the world: 27 single-engine Spitfires and a healthy number of German Messerschmitts, Heinkels, and Stukas. This isn't your grandson's CGI action picture: in the hands of Hamilton and the great cinematographer Freddie Young (Lawrence of Arabia), the dogfights captured in camera feel exhilaratingly real. The too-red sixties blood and a couple of fake-looking flameouts are exceptions that prove the rule: for the most part, the combination of actual action (including cockpit P.O.V.s), models, and special effects creates a powerful cinematic illusion of "you are there" warfare.

Adapted by James Kennaway and Wilfred Greatorex from Derek Dempster's novel The Narrow Margin, the film opens in 1940 France, with the German Blitzkrieg making mincemeat of the RAF. Sir Hugh Dowding (Laurence Oliver) sends a message to Winston Churchill: it's time to get real. Reorienting to a "Battle of Britain" is the only path of potential survival, and a narrow margin at that. "The essential arithmetic is that our young men will have to shoot down their young men at a rate of four to one if we're to keep pace at all," he writes. Dowding serves as a dour point of reference throughout the film, lest anyone grow too encouraged by small victories.
