| Some consider this film about the daring raid on the Japan in 1942 to be one of the best films about World War II. Spencer Tracy, who played the role of Jimmy Doolittle, the commander of the raid, was one of the greatest American motion picture actors. Born and raised in Milwaukee, Tracy attended Ripon College where he discovered a love of acting. In this film Tracy accepted the role of Jimmy Doolittle, a relatively small part in the "30 Seconds" script, so that his friend, Van Johnson might be cast as the lead. |
