To mark the release of The Sound Barrier on 11th april, we’ve been given 3 copies to give away on Blu-ray.
The film tells the story of John Ridgefield (Ralph Richardson, Doctor Zhivago, The Heiress), the self-made wealthy owner of the Ridgefield Aircraft factory. The far-seeing aviation manufacturer is driven toward a significant breakthrough, envisioning a plane that can fly faster than the speed of sound. His obsession with perfection mirrors Lean’s own, with the human cost of scientific progress sending Ridgefield close to madness and throwing his family into turmoil. Alongside Rattigan’s script, the film was famed for the breath-taking aerial footage and Malcolm Arnold’s terrific score.
