Written & directed by Corwin in 1995, commemorating V-J Day. Charles Kuralt and Pat Carroll star in this lucid, dazzling program. The Pacific War and its impact on America is remembered with power and forthright honesty -- no punches were pulled then, and none are pulled in this program.
Norman Corwin's modern update of his hurried 1945 program was immediately acclaimed as a work fit to stand alongside his immortal On A Note Of Triumph, and will be deeply appreciated by anyone who is interested in (and, especially, by anyone who remembers, as does Mr. Corwin) World War II in the Pacific Theatre. For younger people, it's a superb introduction to the story of the vast confrontation between the United States and the Empire of Japan.
