JoeinAR 1,949 Posted October 26, 2002 Share Posted October 26, 2002 According to Steve Awalt's most excellent www.spielbergfilms.comUniversal has slashed the price of this dvd.John Williams fans, this is a dvd, that I want, and may be a must.It is one of the few dvd's with an isolated JW score(Superman is the other).Chris Crusher is a good source on the sound quality and any other technical questions, but it is much more affordable, about the same as a dvd, and it is the complete score. Not a great film, but a fun film, that has been overly panned. Give it a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lurker 5 Posted October 26, 2002 Share Posted October 26, 2002 and it is the complete scoreThere is music on the soundtrack album that is not used in the film. And the Jaws music at the start of the film is literally tracked in from the original Jaws soundtrack.Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marian Schedenig 8,207 Posted October 26, 2002 Share Posted October 26, 2002 I've never seen it here.I'm pretty sure the Euro release doesn't have the iso score anyway.Get a credit card. Marian - who has neither the DVD nor the soundtrack CD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marian Schedenig 8,207 Posted October 26, 2002 Share Posted October 26, 2002 I'm pretty sure there is no Euro release.Good point. Even if there were a Euro release with an iso score, the score would be 4% too fast, so you'd have to slow it down, losing some quality...Stefancos- who thinks Marian should get the DVD and the soundtrack CD.Marian - who thinks Stefan should send him lots of money.

Morlock 11 Posted October 26, 2002 Share Posted October 26, 2002 I bought the DVD for the original $35! Although it was worth it. It's the only Spielberg Doc I've seen that everyone agrees and deals with how bad the movie is (Unlike JP2 :roll: ), which makes it very entertaining. Spielberg admits that the march is his favorite, even more than the Raiders' march! Anyway, I got it mainly for the iso, which is really great. I especialy love 'Swing, Swing, Swing', which, although it's supposed to be a spoof on benny Goodman's piece, IMO surpasses thr original. It was worth the $34:99, it's definatly worth the $14:99.

tpigeon 3 Posted October 26, 2002 Share Posted October 26, 2002 It is one of the few dvd's with an isolated JW score(Superman is the other).There is also The Witches of Eastwick, which i found for $9.99 at Blockbuster. and i agree that though 1941 may not be a great movie, it is a heck of a lot of fun and it does have its moments. I love the bar scene, both the musical number and the brawl.Ted, who still laughes incredibly hard at the line, "I can assure you, there will be no bombs dropped here," as the bomb is rolling up behind him.

Guest Posted October 27, 2002 Share Posted October 27, 2002 I'm kind of puzzled by this $35.00 price that some of you have mentioned.I bought the DVD over a year ago at Best Buy for 19.99 unless it was marked wrong. I agree that it was an underrated film and had some very funny moments. As for Williams' score... it's also one of his most neglected. I laugh out loud when I think how much better his Swing, Swing, Swing is than Sing, Sing, Sing! He out Coplands Copland in the "The Cowboys" and out Primas Prima in "1941"!

King Mark 3,631 Posted October 28, 2002 Share Posted October 28, 2002 Hmmm,even if the set is now 20$ U.S.,that's still 35-40$ canadian.Stupid exchange rate.The Fury deluxe c.d. 2 c.d. set cost me over 50 $ cdn with the shipping. K.M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
