TARGET FOR TODAY (1944): Target for Today documents in painstaking detail the planning and implementation of a U.S. Air Force raid on a Nazi stronghold in East Prussia. Director William Keighley makes the viewer feel like they are right there alongside the bomber pilots as they get into their aircraft. The title refers to a code phrase used by Air Force personnel during mission briefings. William Keighley was a former Broadway actor who made some of James Cagney's best pictures, including 'G' Men (1935), Torrid Zone (1940), and The Bride Came C.O.D. (1941). He co-directed the Errol Flynn classic The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938) with Michael Curtiz. Target for Today's opening states, "There are no actors in this picture. There are only men of the Eighth Air Force, doing their day by day jobs."
