The American Wave: Steven Spielberg's 1941

on BBC Two England

Continuing a season of outstanding films from key directors of the 70s. 13 December 1941: wildly off-course but anxious to strike a blow at America,
Japanese submarine commander Mitamura surfaces his craft off the California coast and sets sail for Hollywood ... Spielberg described his frenetic comedy as 'stupidly outrageous' and it is certainly his most relentlessly physical work.
Screenplay by ROBERT ZEMECKIS and BOB GALE
Produced by BUZZ FEITSHANS Directed by STEVEN SPIELBERG
