Memphis Belle (1990)

ITV4, 9.00PM ★★★

It’s 1943, and the handsome American crew of Second World War B-17 bomber Memphis Belle, who are stationed in England, are anticipating their final mission – to fly over Nazi-occupied Europe. Full of nostalgia, this loosely based-on-real-events story exudes a romanticised view of heroism, but features an endearing cast, including Billy Zane, Sean Astin, John Lithgow, Eric Stoltz, and Harry Connick Jr.
