starring
13 December 1941.
Wildly off-course but anxious to strike a blow at America, Japanese submarine commander Mitamura surfaces off the California coast and sets sail for
Hollywood. Meanwhile in Los Angeles, General Stilwell-commanding southern
Californian defences - is increasingly harassed by the local populace's war nerves and, even more worryingly, by the antics of some servicemen....
Spielberg's frenetic comedy was described by its director as 'stupidly outrageous' and is certainly his most relentlessly physical and comic work.
