Customer Reviews

The flight of the Ruptured Duck.

This is an intriguing backstory to the 1942 Doolittle Raid on J-a-p-a-n. It even feels like the real thing. We get involved in each little hiccup and problem of Ted Lawson (Van Johnson) as he not only has to prepare for the event but also prepares for another event in parallel as a soon-to-be father. Even though this is a Van Johnson show, Phyllis Thaxter makes a good show as his wife. The part of Lieutenant Colonel James H. Doolittle is a memorable portrait by Spencer Tracy. Now I must look up the real Doolittle to remember what he looked like. We spend more than “30 Seconds Over Tokyo” and still not enough time for the whole story.
