- Synopsis:
- An utterly wild comedy epic directed by Steven Spielberg and nominated for three Academy Awards". Lavish effects sequences highlight this hilarious, all star extravaganza set in Los Angeles just days after the attack on Pearl Harbor, when fear of a Japanese Invasion threw the city into a state of Pandemonium. Screwball characters run wild on Hollywood Boulevard as manic servicemen, zealous store owners, teary-eyed girls and bickering Nazis are thrown together in this fast-rising comic souffle that even features a sendup of Spielberg's own Jaws opening.

My friend Dan - 1941 review by BP
My friend Dan recommended this movie to me and frankly I wish he hadn't.
Too many characters, too many annoying characters, too little humour. 2 hours long too...
Not Spielberg's finest 2 hours by any stretch.
