Not so. Groves pushed the work forward so the movies bomb could be used against the Japanese. By July, 1945, the original test bomb was ready to be tested. movies The test was successful, and three weeks later, "Little Boy" was dropped on Hiroshima, with "Fat Man" following three days later on Nagasaki. Japann surrendered on August 14, 1945. Paul Newman and movies Dwight Schultz are both excellent in their roles as Groves and Oppenheimer. Contrary to the movie, both enjoed a quite cordial relationship, and Groves was much more subdued than portrayed in the film. Schultz's performance is the high point of the movie for me. He does a tremendous job portraying the often volatile, but brilliant Oppenheimer. The film also does a good job of explaining his personal life, including his failing marriage to his wife (Bonnie Bedelia) to his relationship with his communist-sympathizing mistress (Natasha Richardson).
