Do not let the fact that The Story of the Atomic Bomb: Trinity and Beyond
is narrated by William Shatner (Captain Kirk) put you off. His voice plays only
a bit part in this compelling, if rather indulgent, film, which makes remarkable
use of military archive footage released by the American and Chinese
governments. Video (95 minutes), directed by Peter Kuran, from Visual
Corporation, £14.99.
