Product Description
Product Description
Destination Tokyo (DVD) It's a daring and dangerous underwater adventure with Oscar-winner Cary Grant ("The Awful Truth," "Suspicion," "North by Northwest") as the captain of a U.S. submarine bound for a search and destroy mission in Tokyo harbor during WWII. Co-starring Oscar-nominee John Garfield ("Gentleman's Agreement," "The Postman Always Rings Twice"). Look for the screen debut of young John Forsythe (TV's "Dynasty" and the voice of Charlie on "Charlie's Angels"). Nominated for an Academy Award for Best Screenplay.

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

One amusing impossibility kept me chuckling at points. We're told repeatedly that this is the USS Copperfin's sixth patrol. They even describe action on Christmas Eve 1941 in Lingayen Gulf as being part of one of the earlier patrols. So far, so good. But here's where things go haywire. This movie supposedly begins on Christmas Eve. Since they've already described a previous wartime Christmas Eve as being in the past, the earliest date for this patrol to begin is 24 December 1942. So what, you say? So this: the Copperfin's mission, we're told, is to obtain vital information for the upcoming Doolittle Raid... which occurred on April 18, 1942, i.e., a minimum of 8 months prior to when this movie is taking place! that, plus the fact that there simply isn't time enough for five patrols in the first month of the war (necessary for the film's timeline to be real), and somebody goofed Big Time!
But who cares? This movie is great!

Los efectos especiales son los de la época, que nadie se espere algo como la digitalización actual, pero eso mismo le da cierto toque romántico.
