Fat Man and Little Boy
Fat Man and Little Boy ★★½ 1989 (PG-13)
A lavish, semifictional account of the creation of the first atomic bomb, and the tensions between J. Robert Oppenheimer and his military employer, Gen. Leslie Groves. Overlong but interesting. Cusack, whose character never existed, is especially worthwhile as an idealistic scientist. 127m/C VHS, DVD . Paul Newman, Dwight Schultz, Bonnie Bedelia, John Cusack, Laura Dern, John C. McGinley, Natasha Richardson, Ron Frazier; D: Roland Joffe; W: Bruce Robinson, Tony Garnett, Roland Joffe; M: Ennio Morricone.
