Originally, renowned British composer Sir William Walton was commissioned to score the film. The producers, however, rejected it and Ron Goodwin (composer of the music for Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines and Where Eagles Dare) wrote a new score that was used in the film.

James Bond-flick director Guy Hamilton helmed this episodic, all-star World War II film. With Sir Laurence Olivier heading up an ensemble cast as flight commander Sir Hugh Dowdling, "The Battle of Britain" pays tribute to other nationalities instrumental in fending off the waves of Luftwaffe planes, notably the expatriate Polish and Czech pilots. Trevor Howard, Michael Caine, and Michael Redgrave also populate the cast. 1969
