Movie Reviews
1941
by John Raiz
nost recent project, 1941,
gives Star Trek a ‘‘run-for-
the-money’’: it cost almost
as much to produce; making
it the most expensive Holly-
wood comedy ever made. A
total of 16 miniature prop
makers are listed among its
unending credits. The film
is one long demolition
derby—houses collapse, air-
planes ignite, bridges ex-
plode, etc.
This insane farce man-
ages a visual laugh or two in
its relentless quest to be
funny. As several critics
have already pointed out,
1941 most resembles Stan-
ley Kramer's It’s a Mad,
Mad, Mad, Mad, World,
The Russians Are Coming,
and, because of John
Belushi, Animal House.

The cast employs about a
dozen recognizable new-
comers and oldtime Holly-
wood character actors in a
wide range of roles. In no
particular order, we get:
Warren Oates as a certified
looney army captain; John
Belushi plays a cigar
chewing P-51 Pilot who is
determined to record the
first downing of a Japanese
plane over the continental
U.S.A.; Christopher Lee
plays a German officer who
tries to convince Toshiro
Mifume that his plan to
bomb Hollywood is insane;
Slim Pickens plays a local
yokel who swallows a
Crackerjack compass to pre-
vent the submarine com-
mander from locating Holly-

Lorraine Gary play a couple

promising start. A shapely
blonde slips off her Polar
Bear Club robe and plunges
into the December surf. As
we listen to John William's
score warning us of the
impending underway dan-
ger and enjoy photographer
William A. Fraker's under-
toned shadings, we are
vividly reminded of a similar
opening sequence in Jaws
when a lovely ‘blonde was
devoured by a shark. This
time around the blonde is
lofted twenty feet into the
air by the periscope of a
Japanese submarine. The
visual double meaning be-
tween the two pictures is
truly funny.
