WATCH: Trailers from Hell Takes on One of Steven Spielberg’s ‘Least Heralded’ Films

Steven Spielberg, along with screenwriters Bob Gale and Robert Zemeckis, pays tribute to the all-star comedy epics of the ’60s in this 1979 WWII farce, in particular "The Russians Are Coming, The Russians Are Coming." It’s one of those rare big-budget films where every single penny is right there on the screen, and though it suffers from excess, Spielberg still manages to pull off several brilliant set-pieces, including one of the most explosively joyous dance scenes in the history of movies; it’s like a Fred Astaire number choreographed by Rube Goldberg.
