I screened 1941 for someone over the weekend who had never seen it.
Unfortunately, while Universal's current DVD is a port derived from the laserdisc, and a less than stellar representation of the film, the audience responded positively, giving it an 8 out of 10.
I'm one of those people who, from the beginning, has always found 1941 to be one of the great comedies of the second half of the 20th century. Unfortunately, what it needs to find a successful audience is superb presentation.
In the same spirit of Mad World, 1941, needs a proper DVD. I believe that Universal would find positive support in place of one of its many other 10th or 20th anniversary releases.
A high quality DVD of Steven Spielberg's 1941 would be a welcome addition to many home video collections.
