1941 Betamax 1980 - CGC Home Video Box 9.2 and Seal A+, Bottom Loading Slipcase, LRT Seal, White Wraparound MCA Home Video Watermarks, MCA Videocassette, Inc. 1941 is a 1979 comedy film directed by Steven Spielberg. Set in the aftermath of the attack on Pearl Harbor during World War II, the movie follows the chaotic events in Los Angeles as residents fear a Japanese invasion. The film features an ensemble cast, including John Belushi, Dan Aykroyd, and John Candy, and is known for its over-the-top humor and elaborate action sequences.

Despite being highly anticipated and boasting an impressive cast, 1941 received mixed reviews from critics and underperformed at the box office. Its lukewarm reception was a significant disappointment for Spielberg who shifted away from big-budget comedies and embraced a more thoughtful and emotionally resonant filmmaking style, leading to some of his most acclaimed works.

This early MCA "Rainbow" Betamax release of 1941 is one of the very first titles produced by MCA in 1980. It has post-1983 MCA Home Video block-style watermarks and received a grade of 9.2 by CGC Home Video with a seal grade of A+.
