 Rating: - Dramatic portrait!Paul Tibbets-Enola Gay both names that mean part of the history. This is an absorbing subject, carefully handled about the officer who piloted and drooped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima. Even I think Taylor wasn't the most appropriate actor for this role, ( I just can think in three names for that moment: Robert Donat, Fredric March and Michael Redgrave) and the film surely would have elevated to a major status. The only default to my mind is the real nightmare derived from this action; ...

But by chance I caught it yesterday on a cable movie channel. I was stunned by its power. The final scenes of Hiroshima on fire were especially powerful.

The primary emphasis is how Tibbetts' job of getting a squadron ready to drop the first atomic bombs affected his marriage. That looks pretty dumb in print, but it's true. Much is made of how long the Tibbetts were separated during ... Read More Rating: - Great for WWII Buffs!!It you are interested in World War II history you will like this film. But you will love it if you are a Robert Taylor or Eleanor Parker fan. They are both great in it. It was one of RT's best performances. (it doesn't hurt the picture that Taylor and Parker were supposedly romantically involved while making it) It deals with the plan to bomb Japan at the end of WWII. It takes you through the behind the scenes operations and finally you are there in the plane as the bomb is dropped on Hiroshima. Real ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
