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.
