 DC> I hope you find it.  It's a fun movie.

 BS> Hmm.. It looks so, it's quite high voted in there :)

I told you that I knew how to pick a movie!  

 BS> Here is one of the user comments

 BS> -- Start user comment --
 BS> This is one of the better 1960s comedies and the acting is first-rate.
 BS> Alan Arkin as the Soviet Navy officer and Brian Keith as the police

I forgot that Keith was in there.  

 BS> chief got deserved Oscar nominations. This was one of Jonathan
 BS> Winters' first movies and he steals every scene he's in. Carl Reiner

The hard part with Winters is to let him loose yet keep him 
focused.  His "understudy" is Robin Williams.  You should 
see the two of them together!

 BS> up speaking Russian. 

I do know that Bikel is fluent in Yiddish.  That may explain 
his accent.  I don't think that he has a single English word 
of dialect in the movie.  I'm not sure about Arkin's 
background.  

BTW, I saw _Fiddler on the Roof_ with Bikel playing Tevye.  
That guy can sing!  

Arkin was great as Yossario in _Catch-22_.  

 BS> And the girl who plays Allison? Zowie! 

I don't remember who that was...  

 BS> The ending of the movie always gets me choked up. . .Rent it and
 BS> enjoy. 

I can only agree!  

And, it was quite controversial when it came out, even though 
it is pure good fun and humor.
