If you loved Rob Roy, try Memphis Belle
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Michael Caton-Jones, and they sit in Action / Drama / War territory. If that's the register that drew you to Rob Roy, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Memphis Belle is
You’re the co-pilot watching the Memphis Belle’s crew scrambling toward their final mission. A press photographer’s ticket gets tucked into your flight bag and suddenly the countdown feels personal. The bomber lifts off with the world’s most scrutinized clock ticking above the Atlantic. Caton-Jones keeps the camera inches from each crew member, letting sweat and flak decide whose story ends first.
