Halifax at War

The Halifax four engine heavy bomber was the unsung hero of RAF Bomber Command during the Second World War. It flew some 39,000 sorties over enemy territory, carried cargoes and dropped agents as well as bombs, towed gliders and pioneered electronic warfare. 6,178 were built, with Handley Page turning out a complete bomber every hour at the height of production. Yet, today it is almost forgotten in favour of the more famous Lancaster bomber. Capable of enduring heavy battle damage and engendering a fierce loyalty from its crews, it was nevertheless underpowered and ‘draggy', and was hated by Bomber Command's C-in-C ‘Bomber Harris who wrote that it “stinks” and that its “bad flying characteristics are killing a large number of our crews”. This unique profile of the controversial British bomber tells the story of the Halifax from its inception in 1937 to its pre-war airliner conversion.

This brutally precise drama is director Enzo Montleone's take on the Italian army's efforts during the Second World War. Although the history books make little mention of them, EL ALAMEIN sets out to put the record straight, by showing how the Italians led one of the first, and most important, battles in the war. For added realism, Montleone drew on soldier's diaries and other important information from those who actually fought in the war, making this a particularly accurate depiction of the bloody battle as it played out.
