Pearl Harbor in the Movies Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Exellent & informative overview of various movies set in, around, or nearby Pearl Harbor (and of course, the infamous attack on December 7, 1941.)
However, the book does detail some movies that aren't necessarily tied into Pearl Harbor per se (such as the b-movie "Battle At Bloody Beach", which is set during the Pacific War in the Philippines, but makes no mention of the attack at Pearl.)
It also fails to detail other movies that do indeed directly deal with the attack at Pearl Harbor.
For instance, the film "Bridge To The Sun" (1961), which starred James Shigeta as a Japanese diplomat & Carol Baker as his white-American wife, who are caught up in the anger & fear following the December 7 attack, is conspicuously missing from the book! (This movie, which is very much tied into the legacy of Pearl is not detailed, while films such as "Radio Days" & "Swing Shift", which only mention Pearl in passing, are.)
Oh well...it's still a good read, with lots of information on films, tv shows (such as the Pearl Harbor episodes of "Time Tunnel", "Hawaii Five O", & "Hawaiian Eye"), and various documentaries.
There's even a mention of Elvis, and his 1961 benefit concert that helped raise funds for the U.S.S. Arizona Memorial.
