1941 (1979). There are many good things about this Steven Speiberg film, like Special effects, John Williams score and an amazing cast. What sinks it-and very early on- is the absolutely putrid script by normally reliable Robert Zemekis, Bob Gale and John Milius. It appears that it was decided to make the whole film be like a Three Stooges Pie fight and I really can't recall a more noisy film...endless shouting, explosions, screaming, yelling, destruction, crashing, still more yelling. A few funny moments and I noticed some sight gags that were later used in RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK, USED CARS, Indiana Jones AND THE TEMPLE OF DOOM ,as well as the opening right out of JAWS. But seriously, an ordeal to finish. *1/2
