The Russians Are Coming, the Russians Are Coming (1966)

Based on the novel The Off-Islanders by Nathaniel Benchley, first published in 1961.

A Russian submarine gets stuck near the coast of an American island. Its crew goes ashore, causing panic among the local population.

Uneven, predominantly unfunny, yet occasionally intelligent, comedy. This being my second viewing, I must confess it improved a little upon it.

Rating: 42 (up from 30)
