Dear valued customer,

After our 2024 restoration and 4K release of A Bridge Too Far, we knew that following up with Battle Of Britain was the next logical step! It has been a joy watching this mammoth restoration come together, and we are very thankful for the work from the wonderful team at Fidelity In Motion for making it happen.

Our initial scan discovered a short two-minute section of the film was not present in the negative, instead replaced with white space in the middle of the reel. This, of course, sent us in hunt of the missing footage, to ensure our restoration is complete and uncompromised.

We are happy to say that a superior source for this two-minute section has now been found, and we are thrilled to see this scanned and built into the restoration.

While this means a disappointing further delay, we know that there is no other option for this key release - our proud #500 for Imprint Films.

Our new release date will be 18 February 2026. Your order, including any other titles, will be shipped together on or before this date.

Thank you for your patience and for your ongoing support of Imprint Films.

1. Thanks for sharing ...

I hadn't heard of this production until now. The original, and restoration, sound awesome.

2. I remember the original. I didn't know it needed restoration.

Is it colorized? I think I saw it about 50 years ago.

4. That's how long ago I saw it. I forgot.

Maybe by now I could benefit from a restoration as well,.
