The Russians Are Coming! The Russians Are Coming!
“IT'S A PLOT! ...to make the world die laughing!!”
ComedyWar
When a Soviet submarine gets stuck on a sandbar off the coast of a New England island, its commander orders his second-in-command, Lieutenant Rozanov, to get them moving again before there is an international incident. Rozanov seeks assistance from the island locals, including the police chief and a vacationing television writer, while trying to allay their fears of a Communist invasion by claiming he and his crew are Norwegian sailors.
VIBE
A charmingly anxious Cold War comedy where a misplaced submarine sparks delightful paranoia. It feels like a quirky, small-town caper where everyone's trying to keep up appearances amidst escalating, yet ultimately harmless, international jitters.
