Tora! Tora! Tora!

"Tatsuya Mihashi - Commander Minoru Genda"

"So Yamamura - Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto"

"[At a meeting of senior officers discussing the potential for recalling the fleet if a peaceful solution is reached, some officers are disheartened about it and voice their thoughts. Yamamoto will have none of it]"

"Admiral Chuichi Nagumo: [addressing the fleet] The Commander-in-Chief has sent us a message wishing us good luck. That, plus the Imperial Proclamation, has undoubtedly stirred your loyalty to the Empire. The success of this mission depends on surprise. If we achieve it, the code words "Tora, Tora, Tora" will be sent out. Now that the battle draws near, I will not burden you with the usual pep talk. Instead I shall hoist the famous "Z Flag," beneath which, Commander-in-Chief Togo led his fleet to victory in the historic battle against the Russians."

"The incredible attack on Pearl Harbor."

"The most spectacular film ever made."

"Martin Balsam - Admiral Husband E. Kimmel"

"The incredible attack on Pearl Harbor as told from both the American and Japanese sides."

"Joseph Cotten - Secretary of War Henry L. Stimson"

"James Whitmore - Vice Admiral William F. Halsey"

"E. G. Marshall - Colonel Rufus S. Bratton"

"[after Japanese officers in the Nagato wardroom applaud him over news of the Pearl Harbor attack announced on Japanese radio] I had intended to deal a fatal blow to the American fleet by attacking Pearl Harbor immediately after Japans official declaration of war. But according to the American radio, Pearl Harbor was attacked 55 minutes before our ultimatum was delivered in Washington. I cannot imagine anything that will infuriate the Americans more. I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve."
