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

Susan L. Rasmussen (Western NY, USA)
Very funny movie. This movies shows that even in a time of crisis (Johnny Whitaker falling from the steeple of the church) we can come together and help one another regardless of our differences and language barrier and that we are all basically the same when it dome right down to it.
The Russians are Coming, the Russians are Coming September 5, 2009
Lynne Mcgarry (New Windsor, NY)
A very funny movie made at a time when the Cold War was very much on everyone's minds. Alan Arkin was at his best in this movie and the cast of various comedians of that time complemented each other.
My 42 old son had never seen it and we watched it together this summer and he loved it too, so I would say it has stood the test of time very well. He took it back to San Francisco with him to share with his 2 collegues who were both born in the Soviet Union. They had told him they saw it back in the 70s over there and loved it too.
 The Russians Are Coming August 25, 2009
Malcolm L. Mac Leod (Sacramento, CA)
This is a really great comedy with good acting by Carl Reiner and Jonathan Winters. It was boytcotted
by the Russians at first, but when it got such good reviews, the producer was invited to show it at
the Kremlin. He replied that he'd love to, but had no visa. The following morning a courier arrived
at his door with both a visa and air tickets.
Seems as nothing changed August 20, 2009
Ityel Biletzky (Duarte Ca.)
US Americans are both paranoid by nature ,and easily manipulated,that's nothing new.that movie is still support this contention(very recently,nergative reaction,bound on paranoia,to our wonderful Pres. Obama trying to improve the health/Medical delivery system,almost got derailed due to continous Republican party lies).
