"A re-creation of the attack on Pearl Harbour in which miniatures, rear-screen and process photography were employed and carefully composed scenes were filmed with actors, for very little film was shot of the actual attack. The footage has been repeatedly borrowed and used by documentary filmmakers as "authentic" record. The 20-minute theatrical release version won an Academy Award in 1943."@en
"John Ford's film unit was given the task of showing the attack on Pearl Harbor. Few cameras were on hand to record the attack. So Ford re-created many of the major scenes on Hollywood sound stages. Generations of Americans have witnessed these scenes, not realizing the "attack" is actually Ford's skillful illusion. Historically, the film is accurate in every detail. The power of Ford's work is underlined by the fact that "December 7th" won an Academy Award for Documentary Production in 1943."@en
