1941*         

(US 1979)                

The appearance shortly after Pearl Harbour of a Japanese submarine off the California coast sends most of Los Angeles into a panic.
Panic, in this case translated as chaotic slapstick, in an expensive misfire by Spielberg, made with a loving nostalgia for the period (as well as spoofing other films including his own), but unwisely allowing the so-called comedians of the time free reign with noise and scatological gay abandon, as if to prove that even Steven Spielberg can make a bad film.

Written by: Robert Zemeckis, Bob Gale, from a story by themselves and John Milius.

1941. Set in the 40s, made in the 70s, although its anarchic style owed a lot to the late 1960s.
