O
ne of Ford's most famous efforts during WWII was December 7th, which won a Best Documentary Short Subjects Academy Award in 1943, but this film was difficult if not altogether impossible to see in its original form for nearly half a century. In 1991, however, the War Department opened their vaults and allowed the complete version to be screened, and now, thanks to VCI Entertainment, December 7th is available on DVD, on a disc loaded with extras.
