The Russians Are Coming, the Russians Are Coming looks overly cute now, but really, it was pretty hip for 1966. The cold war was in full deep-freeze when this well-meaning comedy tried to thaw things out a little: a Soviet submarine beaches on the New England coast, sending the locals into a paranoid frenzy. The chief pleasure of the film is Alan Arkin as the sub captain; this was Arkin's first major film role, and he had already mastered his exasperated, slow-burning frown (to say nothing of mastering his Russian dialogue). Arkin snagged an Oscar nomination, with the movie receiving nominations for best picture, adapted screenplay, and editing--nods that reflect the film's smashing success at the box office. Somewhat dated now, the movie still has its place in the roster of raucous, American small-town comedies; seen in childhood, it will linger nicely as a depiction of foolish grown-ups. --Robert Horton

My favorite movie of them all February 5, 2009
Kethyrie (Federal Way, WA USA)
Name any legendary comic actor from the cold war era and you will probably see him in this film. It is Alan Arkin's first movie appearance. You won't stop laughing and yet it is more than mere comedy. It is social commentary and a true protrait of its time. This movie was a ground breaking. Many of the Russians are real Russian actors (unheard of in an American movie of the day)and they weren't made out to be stupid or inept just out of place. In large part it is acomedy of errors. For those who are familiar with it, there are many extras provided on the background to making this and on the reaction to it. This was screened at the Kremlin at the height of the cold war and won positive reviews in both of these at the time hostile nations. The disc is an importatnt one for any collector.
