Movie Reviews of Destination Tokyo
Movie Review: Destination Tokyo
Summary: 5 Stars
One of the definative WW-II sub movies ever made. Plenty of story lines and action and drama. It was made at the height of the war, before we turned the tide in the Pacific. It was a morale booster for the people of the U.S. Today's Follie-wood would not make this movie. At least not as it was originally made. It is definately a pro U.S. movie with plenty of references to God. (When I was in Iraq, I noticed many people praying in the chow hall that never did when they were in the States!)
Summary of Destination Tokyo
World War II submarine the U.S.S. Copperfin must complete a secret mission in Japanese waters. Film is as much about the relationship between the naval men as it is about their heroic mission. John Forsythe's film debut.DVD Features:
Featurette
Theatrical Trailer
The offbeat casting of Cary Grant as a submarine captain pays off in this tense WWII underwater picture; he ably trades in his sophistication for the sweaty close quarters of an action movie. The mission? Infiltrate the mined harbor of Tokyo itself, a feat bookended by a brief confrontation in the Aleutians and a depth-charge chase through the open sea. Skipper Grant is supported by the usual stock crew of Navy melting-pot types, with John Garfield drawing duty as the resident dame-crazy fantasist. (Somebody forgot to put the saltpeter in his chow, apparently.) The solid action alternates with dialogue that tends toward the schmaltzy or jingoistic (the movie's become somewhat notorious for its unusually nasty propagandistic jabs at the Japanese enemy). Destination Tokyo was the directing debut of Delmer Daves, who would later excel in smart Westerns such as 3:10 to Yuma. --Robert Horton
