The Revolt of Mamie Stover 1956

This film has a sequence depicting the attack on Pearl Harbor that features a number of miniature ships on fire and with explosions going off. A large rectangular piece of sheet metal appears to blow off one of the miniatures in one shot which would be the entire front side of the ship in scale.

There are a couple of matte paintings of the distant harbor, one split screen with distant explosions going off and at least one shot of a model aircraft that has been put over a background plate of people running away.

Visual Effects supervised by Ray Kellogg at 20th Century Fox.
