THE ENOLA GAY WW2 SERIES
Even better was the 1980 mini series "Oppenheimer" with Sam Waterston in the title role. David Strathairn excellent as Oppenheimer.
THE ENOLA GAY WW2 FULL
Day One seemed to give absolute full and accurate measure to the characters and events - the first IMDb review on it is particularly worth reading. I contrasted it with the superb Emmy-awarded "Day One" with Brian Dennehy as General Groves, a military bulldozer whose responsibility it was to drive the immense project forward often in the face of the sophisticated scruples of the brilliant scientists he had no choice but to work with. How could such a huge, dramatic and sombre story receive such treatment? It was not simply incompetent but given the gravity of the subject matter, distasteful. The scene exactly resembled that in those many many comic movies set the armed forces - from Operation Petticoat to Sargeant Bilko. In a knockabout comic scene in "the john" a security man disguised as a plumber has been caught by the aircrew listening in to their conversations. In real life the recording of the plane intercom picked up the reaction of one of the crew: "My God, what have we done?" I assumed that I'd seen an unrepresentative section so watched a repeat. A extraordinary miscasting was Patrick Duffy, Dallas's Bobby Ewing, as the Enola Gay's pilot - bland and soft showing no evidence of stress or emotion that even the grittiest (and gritty the pilot must have been) would have shown.
On first viewing I caught just the section of the bomb drop and was surprised at the fumbling and utter flatness of the treatment of what for the world, let alone the crew, was such a momentous event.
