Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaPaul Tibbets' biography indicates that he and Lucy Tibbets divorced in 1955, three years after the movie was released.
- GoofsWhen we see the bomb drop out of the bomb bay, it is not the "Little Boy" atomic bomb. It appears to be footage from a drop of Britain's Tallboy bomb which was long and bullet shaped with some animation added such as the nose protrusion of the detonation device. In actuality, Little Boy was blunt nosed like a loaf of bread and the detonation device was inside the bomb not a protrusion on the front of the bomb.

Featured review
Good Work
Real good work. Its straight ahead, no frills film-making had me in its grip every step of the way. Just a good old-fashioned major studio A picture; it's like tooling around in a luxury car. And I don't care what anybody says - Robert Taylor was a fine actor. I've seen a number of his films now and he hasn't given a bad performance yet. It is a tad disconcerting to have Mr. McGoo playing General Curtis LeMay, but it's a small part and I let it slide.
