Film Battle of Britain
Whilst perusing the "No James Bond" thread the film was mentioned with regards to Harry Saltzman. Now a film was going to be made about it at some time, so lets have the film made at the time the OTL one was made.
There was such a lot right with the film as it was made. In no particular order
1. The scene with Ralph Richardson and Curd Jurgens in the Swiss Embassy.
2. The aerial photography (It did help that Spain had all those surplus Buchons and 2.111) which has not been surpassed even by CGI IMHO.
3. Laurence Olivier as Sir Hugh Dowding and Trevor Howard as Keith Park
4. The scene where the "not" Galland asks for a Staffel of Spitfires
5. The film score
How do you make sure that it becomes a major international success ?
Did it really need to have famous American actors?
