Spectacular is certainly the word
for this utterly wild comedy epic directed by Steven Spielberg and
nominated for three Academy Awards. Lavish effects sequences highlight
this hilarious, all-star extravaganza set in Los Angeles just days
after the attack on Pearl Harbor, when fear of a Japanese invasion
threw the city into a state of Pandemonium. Screwball characters
run wild on Hollywood Boulevard as manic servicemen, zealous store
owners, teary-eyed girls and bickering Nazis are thrown together
in this fast-rising comic souffle that even features a sendup of
Spielberg's own Jaws opening. |
