The Russians Are Coming! The Russians Are Coming! (1966)

I was intrigued by the description of this film, combined with its genre – it's a comedy about how a Russian submarine runs aground off the coast of an island with a small American population. The submariners go to the settlement to find a boat to use as a tug, and the population, upon learning of the arrival of the Russians, panics. I was hoping for a warm, feel-good movie, and that's what it turned out to be. In terms of comedy, unfortunately, it's not that great – the film starts off quite lively and funny, but after the first, not even a third, but a quarter, it becomes quite tedious, and there aren't many funny jokes from that point on. Most of the actors playing the Russians speak quite poorly; no one has a clear pronunciation, the only difference is that some are very bad, and some are almost good. Nevertheless, I'm still somehow pleased that just four years after the end of the Cuban Missile Crisis, at a time when there was a lot of tension in the world, someone decided to make a kind comedy about how all people are brothers and no one should fight with anyone. After watching it, I was left with a pleasant feeling, so despite the fact that it's not a particularly funny 2-hour comedy, overall I was satisfied.
Where do we go?
Where do we end up when we save the world?
