From Wikipedia...Looks like I was pretty much right. From Wikipedia:-<br /><br /><i>The director of </i>Tora! Tora! Tora!<i>, Richard Fleischer, stated that while Yamamoto may never have said those words, the film's producer, Elmo Williams, had found the line written in Yamamoto's diary. Williams, in turn, has stated that Larry Forrester, the screenwriter, found a 1943 letter from Yamamoto to the Admiralty in Tokyo containing the quotation. However, Forrester cannot produce the letter, nor can anyone else, American or Japanese, recall it or find it. Randall Wallace, the screenwriter of the 2001 film </i>Pearl Harbor<i>, readily admitted that he copied the line from </i>Tora! Tora! Tora!NomadUKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08446926330764642137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-88510532723012481802020-05-21T12:53:45.573-04:002020-05-21T12:53:45.573-04:00What Mikey said.
