A Classic Comedy

This one of my all time favorite films and I was so pleased to find it's on DVD. The story line is funny, the acting priceless. If Hollywood was still making genuinely funny films like this, that can be enjoyed by all ages, I would be in a theater far more often. No one is beaten up, in a car chase, or uses four (or three)letter words. What a relief. Just great writing and great acting and lots of laughs!

Some Russians have seen it

It's better to entitle it "Russians are coming, Russians are coming" without the article, i.e. most Russians would prefer to stay at home. Some of them enjoy watching all your 'western' moovies about 'Russians'. Actually, Russian films about the west are far more true to life. Your russophobia is so steadfast and everlasting that it seems funny:))

Recomenduetsia vsem lyubiteliam amerikanskogo folklora:) Osobenno, posmotrite, kak oni imitiruyut nashih, nu i konechno - ih razgovor. Neuzheli nel'zia bylo produblirovat'? Tak, serovatoye kintzo.

The Russians Are Coming, the Russians Are Coming

We enjoyed this film in the theaters long ago and I found as many laughs watching it again. For the younger viewers (under Bay of Pigs age) it may have lost some of the political nuances. But would still be amusing.

Alan Arkin launches his career

By casting Russian and American "differences" in the light of comedy THE RUSSIANS ARE COMING provided a public service to the people who saw it on its theatrical release. The dark shadow of the Cold War suddenly looked like a silly shadow puppet for delighted film-goers.

Speaking of casting, the film boasts a cast of actors of whom I'm quite fond, notably Alan Arkin and Jonathan Winters. Alan Arkin emerges from the film as an obvious star-in-the-making. He speaks Russian for much of the film, but his pauses and facial expressions communicate volumes. A funny, funny man prepares to launch his career with this well-intentioned film.

That said, there is a reason that this movie is largely forgotten today, and it's not just because the Soviet Union is history. The type of "madcap" farce the film employs is just as dated as its subject matter. While fans of IT'S A MAD, MAD, MAD, MAD WORLD will enjoy THE RUSSIANS, I grew tired of the interminable car chases, and foot races which constitute a full third of the film.

Hilarious!

I first saw the Russians Are Coming as a kid when it first came out. This movie still holds up with the best of them. I laughed at least as much as an adult as I did as a child - probably more. While many movies, television programs and recordings seem jaded when viewed years later, this movie has retained it's humor with fine acting, great writing and of course great directing. If you like to laugh, you will thoroughly enjoy this movie.
