1941 is Steven Spielberg's fourth theatrical film, written by Robert Zemeckis and Bob Gale. It starred John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd and premiered in December 1979. The film is a comedy about a panic in the Los Angeles area that occurs after the 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor. The plot is loosely based on the West Coast air raid an incident that has come to be known as the Great Los Angeles Air Raid of 1942 and the Battle of Los Angeles, as well as the shelling of the Ellwood oil refinery, near Santa Barbara, by a Japanese submarine. In the film version, the Japanese submarine crew, led by Commander Mitamuru (Toshiro Mifune in a near-parody of other, more serious roles as Japanese officers in American films) are joined by a hard-line German naval captain (Christopher Lee), and have crossed the Pacific ocean to destroy something "honorable."

Plot

Susan Backlinie, who played the first victim in Spielberg's Jaws, plays a character who goes for a midnight swim, alone and naked. But instead of a shark, a Japanese submarine surfaces under her. She holds on to the periscope as it rises. A Japanese crew member looks up at the naked girl clinging to the submarine, and yells: "Hollywood! Hollywood!" At this point, the submarine crew realizes they have arrived where they intended to be, Hollywood, and the vessel submerges once again. Susan Backlinie (born Susan Jane Swindall, 1 September 1946) is a former actress and stuntwoman best known for playing Chrissie Watkins, the first victim in the Steven Spielberg 1975 blockbuster Jaws. ...

The Japanese submarine becomes lost trying to find Los Angeles when the ship's compass is broken. A landing party captures a local timber merchant, Hollis Wood, (Slim Pickens); on board the sub, they see he has a small Cracker Jack compass that he swallows. Wood escapes, while in Los Angeles, Major General Stilwell goes to see Dumbo. Captain Birkhead and Donna Stratten decide to go the local airfield where Colonel Madman Maddox has both aircraft and a belief the Japanese are about to attack.

At the USO dance, Sitarski and Betty are inside as Wally sneaks in with a stolen MP's uniform, steals Betty away but ignites a massive brawl involving all the servicemen. Sgt Tree arrives in his tank just as Los Angeles goes to Red Alert with an unknown aircraft in the air. Ward Douglas spots the Japanese submarine lurking near his home. As Birkhead and Stratten fly over Los Angeles in the back of a purloined aircraft, civil defense batteries blast away. Chaos continues as Wild Bill joins the fight and crashes.

Wally commanders Sgt Tree's tank, Wild Bill follows on motorbike, crashing through a paint factory and then a turpentine factory. Meanwhile Ward Douglas begins firing at the Japanese submarine which returns fire, destroying an amusement park Ferris wheel (Mitamuru: "Fire at that industrial structure!"). The tank is blown up but Wild Bill drives his motorbike off the pier and swims to the submarine, where he is captured by the Japanese, who, believing their honorable mission accomplished, now return home. The German Captain is thrown overboard by the Japanese and is later captured-the only US "victory" of the movie.

The following morning, General Stilwell arrives at the Douglas home where Ward Douglas goes to hang a Christmas wreath, only to accidentally push his damaged home into the Pacific Ocean. The movie ends with all the characters in front of the foundations of the destroyed home.

Reception

The film, mainly a production of Columbia Pictures (with some help from Universal Studios, which now owns the worldwide rights to the film, with the exception of television distribution, which is handled by Sony Pictures Television), was a moderate box office success, but not the blockbuster film the producers were hoping for. Because the film failed to match the box office numbers of Spielberg's previous films, Jaws and Close Encounters of the Third Kind, 1941 was considered a flop by comparison in regards to Spielberg's previous record on Jaws.

It did not help that some mainstream publications pre-labeled it as "Spielberg's Christmas Turkey". The film was slammed for being excessive and ham-handed. 1941, along with Francis Ford Coppola's Apocalypse Now, Martin Scorsese's New York, New York, and Robert Altman's Popeye, became major examples of excessive directorial control over a film and marked the beginning of the end of the New Hollywood era which closed with the historic failure of Michael Cimino's Heaven's Gate.

Spielberg humorously joked at one point that he considered converting 1941 into a musical halfway into production and mused that "in retrospect, that might have helped." The musical film is a film genre in which several songs sung by the characters are interwoven into the narrative. ...

However, Bob Gale notes in a DVD documentary about the film: "It is down in the history books as a big flop, but it wasn't a flop. The movie didn't make the kind of money that Steven's other movies, Steven's most successful movies have made, obviously. But the movie was by no means a flop. And both Universal and Columbia have come out of it just fine."

Extended Releases

The film was previewed at approximately 2 1/2 hours but because both Columbia Pictures and Universal Studios had major involvement with the production of the film, Spielberg was unhappy with the final 120-minute theatrical cut of 1941 which was heavily influenced by the involvement of both studios. After the success of his 1980 "Special Edition" of Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Spielberg was given permission to create his own "extended cut" of 1941 to represent his original extended cut – this was done for network television (it was only shown on ABC one time, but was seen years later on The Disney Channel). A similar extended version (with additional footage and a few subtle changes) was released on LaserDisc, and later on DVD.

Co-Writer Bob Gale stated that many of the events in the movie were based on real incidents, including the West coast air raid, the Ellwood Shelling, the Zoot Suit Riots and an incident where the army really did put an anti-aircraft gun in the yard of a homeowner on the coast (in Maine),^{[citation needed]} and a Japanese submarine which made it past the U.S. defences and torpedoed a line of docks in Los Angeles.^{[citation needed]} The chaos of the events is summarized by Dan Aykroyd's character, Sgt. Tree, who states "he cannot stand Americans fighting Americans."

Deleted scenes

A deleted scene had Slim Pickens' character threatened with what looks like a torture device but turns out to be a coat hanger. Steven Spielberg hated losing the joke and swore he'd try to put it in every one of his future movies until it stayed there. Luckily, this happened in his very next film, Raiders of the Lost Ark.

Another deleted scene showed John Belushi's Wild Bill crossing paths with Aykroyd's Frank Tree as Bill heads for the Japanese sub just as Tree emerges from the water submerged tank.

Musical score

The musical score for 1941 was conducted and composed by John Williams.

Music from the score (tracks listed as they appear on the soundtrack LP and CD) was based on characters and scenes from the movie: For other persons named John Williams, see John Williams (disambiguation). ... The Jitterbug is a swing dance, a subset of Lindy Hop, with an emphasis on 6-count moves and fast spins. ...
