 To the East, a classical crescendo - Los Angeles Times
Although the typical Tokyo classical concert may be a lot more conventional than was Mera's recital, confusion is nevertheless as much a way of life as is order, and social conformity doesn't seem to interfere with unflappable Tokyoites' acceptance of ostentatious individuality.
Traveling to Tokyo for Western classical music is, of course, a peculiar enterprise, to the extent that it robs a visitor of opportunities to experience Japanese culture.
The Tokyo street, he writes, is "the ultimate in unrestrained display." The home, on the other hand, enjoys sacrosanct privacy, which begins with taking off one's shoes as a gesture that denotes leaving public space for the private.

 Destination Tokyo Review - The Ultimate Cary Grant Pages
Destination Tokyo is the first movie directed by Delmer Daves, chosen by CG himself.
Destination Tokyo is a notable action movie (135 min.), maybe one of the best contributions to the "underwater" war.
But to us it seems wholly implausible, and thus does "Destination Tokyo." It has a lot of exciting incident in it; some slick, manly performances are turned in by Cary Grant (as the commander), John Garfield, Alan Hale and Dane Clark.

Tokyo, to put it bluntly, has little of the beauty, serenity and dignity one tends to associate with Japan and the Japanese.
Tokyo can be insensitive and ugly- but somewhere under the hard outer shell, you can find beauty- in the hidden gardens, in the old streets where part of traditional Japan still lingers; in the ancient buildings which once comprised the imperial castle.
Look for it- and Tokyo will still reveal a charm which can endear itself to you- a charm which is elusive no doubt, but definitely not extinct.

In Tokyo, old and new, modern and traditional, Japanese and foreign often sit comfortably next to each other.
Most buildings in Tokyo are relatively new: those that were spared by the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923 were most likely destroyed by firebombing in 1945.
(Central Tokyo has a population density of about 13,000 per square kilometer.) In searching of a tranquil, slightly off-the-beaten-track spot, it would be wise to realize right from the start that you will not be alone at whatever place you fancy to visit—others will have similar plans.

 Destination Moon (1950) - The Bad Movie Report
We begin with two men in a bunker, anxiously awaiting the launch of a rocket: they are Dr. Charles Cargraves (Warner Anderson), the brains behind the missile and its satellite payload, and General Thayer (Tom Powers), the military man who got the appropriations pushed through after months of struggle.
Sure, we know now that this is not the way to go to the moon, but it was in 1950 - and kudos must be made to the filmmakers for still being able to wring tension from the modern viewer during the adrift-in-space and who-stays-behind segments.
Destination Moon was very successful upon its release; of course, when a movie is "two years in the making!", the Cormanoids cannot be far behind...

Destination Tokyo was the directing debut of Delmer Daves, who would later excel in smart Westerns such as 3:10 to Yuma.
So, if a movie like DESTINATION: TOKYO wants to fill its roster with generally likeable characters and spend a slightly mawkish Christmas with them - the Copperfin sets sail on December 24th, and most of the first act is spent trailing on-board carolers and partaking in a makeshift Christmas party - more power to it.

 THE CINEMA LASER DVD REVIEW-- DESTINATION TOKYO
DESTINATION TOKYO ($20) is a solid WWII war drama set onboard a US Navy submarine.
Of course, since this Hollywood studio production was made during the war years, DESTINATION TOKYO proves to be somewhat typical in its need to serve the purposes of propaganda, in addition to its main goal of entertaining the audiences back home.
Cary Grant stars in DESTINATION TOKYO as Captain Cassidy, the commander of a submarine undertaking a secret resonance mission to Tokyo- one which will pave the way to an American air attack on the island of Japan.

 The DVD Journal | Quick Reviews: Destination Tokyo
Despite Cary Grant's top billing, Destination Tokyo is an ensemble piece, with a variety of actors (some well-known, some not) filling the submariners' bunks.
Even without Cary Grant, who is absent from a lot of scenes, Destination Tokyo is a splendid genre piece — and with Grant, particularly when he delivers a somber "why we fight" speech to his men, it becomes something all the better.
Warner's DVD release of Destination Tokyo features a solid full-frame transfer (1.33:1 OAR) from a fl-and-white source-print that's in good shape — not of restoration quality, but pleasant with good granular detail.

It is very tough to decide whether or not to criticize Destination Tokyo, because it accomplished its goals well enough, but those goals are now a moot point.
Destination Tokyo is not at the top of Cary Grant's filmography, so it is kind of surprising that it is being included in the new boxed set Warner is issuing in his honor.
