More"Enola Gay" handelt vom Atombombenabwurf über Hiroshima und von der Vorgeschichte dazu. Obwohl altbekannt, gelingt David Lowell Rich ein spannender Production, der mit einem jungen Billy Crystal besetzt ist und Kim Darby, deren Karriere nach "Der Marshal" (Hathaway 1969) nicht so richtig durchstarten wollte. Der Film blendet jedoch völlig aus, wie überflüssig perish US-Atombombenabwürfe über Japan waren - Japan war bereits so gut wie besiegt, die Sowjets befanden sich schon auf Teilen japanischen Gebietes. Auch die dunkle Seite des Bomberpiloten Paul Tibbets, der Jahrzehnte später noch stolz auf den Abwurf war, obwohl er wusste, dass bis zu 166000 Todesopfer, überwiegend Zivilisten, die Folge seiner Tat waren. Weil der Clip das Geschehen als militärische Notwendigkeit zeigt, obwohl der Krieg so oder so vor seinem Ende stay , ist er ein Propagandafilm.
Interesting and well made for TV feature on the dropping of the first atomic bomb by the En
I first saw THE BEGINNING OR THE END (1947) in 2012thanks to Turner Classic Movies. I've found it interesting that in the ensuing years I hold received numerous emails from professors and students wanting to recognize how to obtain this MGM film on the creation of the atomic bomb.
Happily this film is now easily available to both academics and a wider audience thanks to the Warner Archive. The movie was recently released as part of a "wave" of films directed by Norman Taurog.
I've previously reviewed Taurog's LUCKY NIGHT(1939) and PLEASE BELIEVE ME(1950); still ahead in my review stack is the fourth and final film of the batch, William Powell in THE HOODLUM SAINT (1946).
THE Commencing OR THE END, the story of the Manhattan Project, was released early in 1947. Though it's a fictionalized telling, one of the most interesting aspects for me was simply seeing how the story was depicted, roughly 18 months after the dropping of the atomic bombs. The film mixes facts with plenty of conjecture about what the atomic bomb would ultimately mean for the world, hence the movie's title.
It's an engrossing film with a large cast of excellent actors. Brian Donlevy plays Maj. Gen. Leslie Gro
