Pearl Harbor on Film by John  Huston in 1942

Shortly after the Day of Infamy, John Ford produced
a documentary about the Japanese attack (and unpreparedness
of the US). The film was entitled "December 7th" and is
available for sale from a number of sources.

Film & History has an article by William T. Murphy, Jr on
the John Ford effort within the context of other documentaries
made by the US government during the war.  Here is the citation
for those whose library subscribes to the journal:

Murphy, William T.  "John Ford and the Wartime Documentary"
    Film & History 6.1 (1976): 1-8.

We would be delighted to send a copy of this fine article by
postal mail to anyone who sends us a check for $5.00 or uses
the PayPal system on our subscription page and sends us $5.00.
Either way, send us a message with full and complete mailing
data so we can get that article back to you quickly.

Web site is at the following:

In the process, check out the web site for Film & History for

Comments: Individual subscription information on the web site
as well as information and FAQ's about the CD-ROMs. There are
also discussion items and essays on Saving Private Ryan, Amistad,
CNN's Cold War, and a host of other topics. The Table of Contents
for the last thirty years is there as well. The last two issues dealt with
Television as Historian (Vols. 30.1 and 30.2).

Next conference is in November, 2002, a year from this
Fall, on The American West(s) in Film, Television, and History
at the Kansas City Marriott, Country Club Plaza--just a few blocks
from the Nelson Art Gallery, a major institution and just next door
to the Kansas City Arts Institute. We are looking for energetic
people to serve as Area Chairs and will put a list of existing and
available Area Chair topics on the web site this summer.

California campuses.
