Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo
65Worth an evening.
The mission gets done, and one pilot comes home without his leg.
The review
Training, the raid on Tokyo, then the crash in China. Spencer Tracy plays Doolittle. A pilot loses a leg. It comes from a book by a man who was there, which is why I trust the shape more than a made-up battle. The work is the mission. Older teens. I would not hand it to a younger child and call the airplanes fun.
I am not going to describe wounds past that lost leg. The men did not all come back whole, and the film was among the larger grosses, so plenty of people paid to see a raid. Stay where the body does not match the plan. Don't skip that on the way to feeling proud.

The glance
Household and Piety are the thin ones.
Is a marriage, a parent, or a child a real life here, or just a prop?

Consider this
Saving Private Ryan
75 instead of 65
Saving Private Ryan is still a war film, and it scores 75 instead of 65. What you gain is household: The errand is a mother's remaining son.
