Taking three years to plan and eight months to film at a cost of over $25,000,000 Fox's Tora! Tora! Tora! remains one of the finest and most technically accurate dramatizations of the Pearl Harbor tragedy ever to reach the screen.
Utilizing the same cross-cutting techniques as The Longest Day, Tora! Tora! Tora! comes across in much the same Docudrama way, telling the story of the attack from the point of view of both nations, without presenting any judgements of its own.
Long gone are the days when Hollywood will ever be able to make movies like this again. Even with the clever CGI techniques of movie making today, there is no substitute, and never will be, for live filming of real things, and in this production the aerial sequences alone are just breath taking. A superbly made epic.
This is another must for the movie collection drawer.
