The Russians Are Coming, the Russians Are Coming

I hadn't seen this movie since I was a kid and when my Dad recommended getting this I was glad you did because it is so funny. The humour is still fresh despite the cold war being over. A movie like this could never work today but its still good clean fun.

A very entertaining film made during the cold war. There are numerous humorous scenes that typifies a New Englander, from the town drunk who envisioned himself as reinacting Paul Revere's famous ride to the old Veteran who thought he should organize a militia to protect the city from what was viewed as an impending attack by Russians who only wanted to find a way to get themselves back to sea. I think it is well done. Alan Arkin does a great job portraying a Russian officer who is frustrated with his Captain.

Though this movie might not be as funny to people too young to remember the 'cold war' years, it still has much to offer. Classic performances by Jonathon Winters, Alan Arkin, and many others make this a must-have for movie collecters.

I really enjoyed it. It has been a long time since I have seen it.

The video are arrived in a timely manner in good condition.
