We’re closing out the week today (on this first day of Spring) with a new History, Legacy & Showmanship column from our own Michael Coate, looking back at Steven Spielberg’s 1941. The film turned 35 last year.

Members of the cast and crew are expected to attend. It should be a lot of fun. [Read on here…]
