This movie stars John Belushi and Dan Ackroyd and others and takes place December 13th 

1941. It likely was written by Dan Ackroyd with the help of his good friend John Belushi (however, I'm not sure about this. I just know Ackroyd wrote a lot of movies back then).

This is a really funny movie. However, it might be too much for those who actually lived through 

world war II possibly. For my generation this is another Anti-War movie sort of like Catch-22

and it brings on how crazy war always is. So, watching this can be therapeutic for someone to watch trying to laugh their cares away regarding war. There are many anti-war movies that were made between about 1965 and 1980 and even after this.
