It was this film that first introduced the line spoken by Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto in the movie "I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve."

Richard Fleischer
claims that the producer
Elmo Williams
discovered the quote in Yamamotos diary, while Williams claims screenwriter Larry Forrester found it in a 1943 letter by Yamamoto. But no such documentation has ever been produced. It is similar to a passage from Hiroyuki Agawas biography on Yamamoto, The Reluctant Admiral, who quotes him having said: "A military man can scarcely pride himself on having smitten a sleeping enemy; it is more a matter of shame, simply, for the one smitten. I would rather you made your appraisal after seeing what the enemy does, since it is certain that, angered and outraged, he will soon launch a determined counterattack". But even that version of the quote has not been documented. Neverless, the "sleeping giant" quote has since become legend. It was included in the screenplay for
