USS Yorktown in TORA! TORA! TORA!
I was aboard the USS Yorktown during the filming of this movie in late
1968. As I remember it we were heading for Pearl to assume our role as primary recovery ship for the Apollo 8 mission.The "Zeros" were loaded at either Long Beach or San Diego. A lot of irony in the fact that the ship that replaced USS Yorktown that was sunk at Midway was now being decked out as a Japanese carrier and carrying Japanese aircraft and was now being used to make a movie about Pearl Harbor. An aerial view of the ship in the movie shows the ship with an angled deck.....which there were none of in WW II. OOPS! Doubt many (if any) of the public really noticed or would really care. Have often wondered what was going through the minds of folks in Hawaii who survived Dec. 7, 1941 as they watched the recreation going on about them. I love this movie and was found it exciting to watch its creation.. mdfgh watch The Cat In The Hat movie

A realistic look at the events at Pearl Harbor, bringing the United States into WWII.
Tora! Tora! Tora! is a monumental accomplishment. Its special effects alone
are certainly worth experiencing. It also makes an effort to tell both sides of the attack accurately using Japanese and American actors. What prevents this epic film from becoming a classic boils down to the quality of the acting. Not the Japanese actors but rather some big name American actors who seem to just be going through the motions. Bit players are even less convincing. Still, this is a story that everyone should see on film and care is taken to make it historically correct.. |
