The DVD version of "Breaking the sound barrier" 1952, a David Lean production, that I watched is disk one of "The World War Collection" May 27, 2008; this is funny as it has nothing to do with a war.
Originally produced by London Films. Copyright 1952 British Lion Film Corporation Ltd. at Shepperton. With the co-operation of the Ministry of Supply and the Director and Members of the Society of British Aircraft Constructors.
The film itself had Great Britton 1952 typed all over it. We get lots of footage of different 50's jets (The de Havilland COMET, The Vickers-Supermarine ATTACKER, the de Havilland VAMPIRE 113, and The Vickers-Supermarine SWIFT Rolls-Royce `Avon' Engine.)
The basic Story and Screenplay by Terence Rattigan is of a father and owner of an aircraft industry. He wants to have the mysterious and unknown sound barrier broken. His excuse is "because it is there." It appears to his daughter that he is rather callus and will sacrifice the lives of his own son (Denholm Elliott who played Dr. Marcus Brody in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade) and son-in-law to accomplish his goal. Will father and daughter come to terms or understanding of each other's world or will the daughter save her son from a similar fait in the insatiable clutches of her father.
