little, leader of the historic raid
-and that is at it should be.
Lawson himself is portrayed by
Van Johnson; Corporal (now
Staff Sergeant) Thatcher by
Robert ("Private Hargrove")
Walker, and Ellen Lawson by
Phyllis Thaxter, a face and name
new to moviedom but destined
for early stardom if her present
performance is any criterion.
"Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo"
tells of the Doolittle mission,
what preceded it and what fol
lowed it, in deeply human terms.
Ted Lawson's training for the
great task and his fleeting mo
ments with his Ellen form the
basis for what is certainly one
of the most stirring pictures in
many, many months.
