Pearl Harbor’s Stocking Blunder

The film “Pearl Harbor” is set during World War II, specifically in 1941. Throughout the movie, you can spot women showing off their bare legs, a sight that was quite unusual for the time. During that era, women typically wore nylon stockings for most occasions. Some argue this might be more historically accurate since nylon was scarce during the war.

However, the consensus is that the depiction is inaccurate for the time, as women would have found other means, such as leg makeup, to maintain the appearance of stockings. This costume choice stands out to many looking for period accuracy.
