It probably has very little to do with Universal and everything to do with Spielberg. My guess is that the longer version is the film he wanted to make and the original was his compromise to fit a time slot for the network that commissioned it.

Thought I'd bump this thread, as my question seems relevant to the music editing of 1941. This is probably a weird and nit-picky question, but I was wondering if anyone else had noticed it.
One of my favorite scenes in 1941 is when Kelso starts singing "The stars at night, are big and bright..." as he's taking aim at Birkhead and Donna over Hollywood Blvd. There are a couple of subdued brass chords that are in tune with him, and then the brass explodes in to the song. On the extended laserdisc and TV airings of the theatrical cut, that second quiet brass chord hits right as Kelso says "big," but on the Blu-ray (both cuts) and an old VHS I have (I apparently have too many copies of this movie), the chord comes slightly (but noticeably) after he says "big."
Having it hit on "big" seems more musically accurate to me, but I don't know which one is actually correct, but the two are definitely different. Could this have been a difference between the 35mm and 70mm sound mixes, maybe?
