2/3/2024 0 Comments Solders of the enola gay![]() ![]() In a knockabout comic scene in "the john" a security man disguised as a plumber has been caught by the aircrew listening in to their conversations. In real life the recording of the plane intercom picked up the reaction of one of the crew: "My God, what have we done?" I assumed that I'd seen an unrepresentative section so watched a repeat. A extraordinary miscasting was Patrick Duffy, Dallas's Bobby Ewing, as the Enola Gay's pilot - bland and soft showing no evidence of stress or emotion that even the grittiest (and gritty the pilot must have been) would have shown. On first viewing I caught just the section of the bomb drop and was surprised at the fumbling and utter flatness of the treatment of what for the world, let alone the crew, was such a momentous event.
