A John Ford documentary, "December 7th, 1941," came out in 1943 and won an Oscar. "The Flying Tigers" starring John Wayne, came out in 1942 and featured news of the attack near the end of the movie (including Roosevelt's speech declaring war on Japan being broadcast over a radio). The first movie that I can recall being directly about Pearl Harbor is the classic From Here To Eternity, which came out in 1953, twelve years later.

Note: Some of the pilots who were in the real Flying Tigers were reportedly so embarressed by the movie when they were invited to the premiere that they were caught trying to sneak out of the theater...also, John Wayne reportedly got drunk with some pilots while on a tour in New Guinea and they left him out on the tarmac on a cot, stark naked. He woke up with a hangover, rolled over and went back to sleep (from The Internet Movie Databases's Flying Tigers page).

"Remember Pearl Harbor" came out in mid-'42.

Now I'm not saying that it, or United 93, was not also "too soon."

But what bothers me is the failure, in most MSM discussions of whether "United 93" is "too soon," to mention the elephant in the room, namely Michael Moore and his "Fahrenheit 9/11."
