"Oppenheimer" is a great movie, which deserves every accolade it receives. Yet, I recommend watching this documentary from 1980. It has clearly been an inspiration for both the the movie as well as the biography, and it presents real interviews with those actually involved in building the atomic bomb. The reason I give the documentary 10 stars is that it is not only a great documentary in itself, but also a most important historical research effort that was conducted at a time when most of the main actors in the drama were still alive. Without this documentary many facts and thoughts would have been lost forever. Having said this, I really hope that all the original material made and collected for this documentary has been archived properly, so that this material too may be used by future historians.
