Bestimmung Tokio (1943)

Bestimmung Tokio: Directed by Delmer Daves. With Cary Grant, John Garfield, Alan Hale, John Ridgely. In order to provide information for the first air raid over Tokyo, a U.S. submarine sneaks into Tokyo Bay and places a spy team ashore.

“Great propaganda film for WWII. However, can anyone really believe that Cary Grant is from Oklahoma City? Since the Doolittle raid was in April of 1942, the movie has to begin on Christmas day 1941 – a little less that three weeks after the US got into the war. But the Captain says that this is their 5th tour. Cookie says that the previous Christmas (1940) they spent getting depth charged. Unless they decided to get into the war before it was declared. By the way, the actor who played Cookie is not the Alan Hale who went on to become the Skipper in Gilliganu0026#39;s Island. Alan Hale died in 1950. The Skipper was his son, Alan Hale, jr.”
