- Synopsis:
- During World War II, director John Ford joined the ranks of the many Hollywood actors and filmmakers who participated in the war's film propaganda effort. At the behest of the United States' military, John Ford and legendary cinematographer Gregg Toland (Citizen Kane - The Grapes of Wrath) mounted the first re-creation of the attack on Pearl Harbor in December 7th. Steeped in controversy since it's making when the War Department censored almost half the film because it was too even-handed and didn't demonise the Japanese enough. 'December 7th' is one of John Ford's most controversial films, being unseen in its original form for nearly fifty years.
