This is simply a charming , funny movie . Robert Taylor is exceptionally good – as is the supporting cast in general. Well-made Western comedies seem few and far between .
The movie was not well publicized upon its release as I recall , nor was it rated as top flight. It’s hardly ever seen on television. The film can easily be described as wholesome – a rarity more today than back in the 50’s . Its tone and style reflect the mood of the times.
By all means, catch it if you can . By ttlankf3 (Maryland) on the IMDB

The story of Colonel Paul Tibbets, the pilot of the Enola Gay, the bomber that dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima. Although unaware of the full potential of this new weapon, he knows that it is capable of doing tremendously more damage than any other weapon used before, and that the death toll resulting from it will be enormous. He is reluctant to be the person who will end so many lives, but if using it may bring an end to the war, then not doing so may result in even more lives being lost in continued ground assaults as the fighting goes on. At the same time, the intense secrecy surrounding this mission leaves him with no one he can express his thoughts and doubts to, not even his wife. As time goes on, the pressure upon him only increase. Jean-Marc Rocher (rocher@fiberbit.net) on the IMDB.

Me, too. They have played it sometime in the past but not in recent memory. It’s very good and Mr. Taylor looked wonderful. Thanks for writing.
