Summary: Good Wartime Movie
Comment: Most war movies actually made during WW2, are a bit too soppy and unrealistic for my liking, but this movie was quite good and it portrayed a major event during WW2 in the Pacific. Spencer Tracy did a good job, as Jimmy Doolittle and Van Johnson wasn't bad either. I don't know how Van Johnson's wife in the movie, got pregant when they where sleeping in seperate bed's?? I liked the fact that the aircraft, ships etc in the movie looked authentic. There is nothing worse in a war movie then seeing a Mustang or Trainer painted up to look like ME-109. Having said that, the Trainers made up to look like Zero's in "Tora Tora Tora" looked the part. Overall a good war movie, well worth the money.

Summary: Sometimes revenge is not a dish best eaten cold.
Comment: If you are a WWII buff, you can't miss this classic. Released in 1944 long before the end of the war, Hollywood and the Army cooperated in getting this top-secret out before the public, as a morale booster. Think about it: December 7, 1941 and the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. Just over four months later, on April 18, 1942, the unbelievable mission of launching 16 B-25 Mitchell bombers off of the (short) deck of the U.S.S. Hornet for the purpose of bombing Tokyo. Talk about getting even quickly! The bombs didn't do a strategic amount of damage, but the insult to the Japanese emperor and the Japanese war leadership were, as the ad states, "priceless". The action is realistic; the facts are correct; and real names and locations are utilized.
