Above and Beyond (1952)


This review is on Above and Beyond from 1952 starring: Robert Taylor, Eleanor Parker, James Whitmore, Larry Keating, Larry Gates, Marilyn Erskine and is directed by Melvin Frank.

Above and Beyond tells the story of, Lt. Col. Paul Tibbets Jr. of the Army Air Corps who is the command of the Enola Gay, the B-29 that dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima. Which also includes newsreels shots of the bombing.




This is a Warner Archive release and has a good video and audio with the only special feature included is the theatrical trailer. The film is presented in b&w, Full screen and runs for about 122mins (2hr 2mins).

I would give this film a 7/10 and the DVD a 4/5. Overall this is a great DVD release and is a film I would recommend.
