Update. At about 15:30 is a launch/take-off scene. The crew are belted into their bunks and experiencing massive force. “The human body can withstand these accelerations,” Harry will say when it’s over, “but it certainly was never meant to.”
But, still in the bunks, John Emery (Doctor Eckstrom) I understand:
Noah Beery (Major Corrigan) is giving “anguish” a shot:
And Hugh O’Brian (Harry) is nailing it.
But this is — I have no idea what this is:
And as much as I enjoy watching whatever Osa Massen (Dr. Lisa Van Horn) is supposed to be doing, I don’t think she was given proper stage direction.
