Incannerax What a waste of my time!!!

Ceticultsot Beautiful, moving film.

Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

Peereddi I was totally surprised at how great this film.You could feel your paranoia rise as the film went on and as you gradually learned the details of the real situation.

Rabby Tat This is a warm and funny movie from an earlier time. Clever and fun. Character driven without the silly special effects so common in modern movies. It relies upon good writing, quality acting and genuine physical comedy to do the job. I see that some reviewers did not like the ending, but this is integral to achieving the positive message that the movie wanted to convey. During the Cold War, people were in credible fear and this was an attempt to calm the fears while also giving a message of hope. If you do not appreciate this movie, you need to look at our history and once informed, consider it in the context of the day. Otherwise, from the late Brian Keith, "I thought all the nuts went home on Labor Day." :-)

Claudio Carvalho In the Cold War, when the captain of a Russian submarine comes too close to the Gloucester Island in Massachusetts to give a look at America, the submarine gets stranded. A nine-man team commanded by Lieutenant Rozanov (Alan Arkin) goes onshore to search a motor boat to release the submarine and arrives at the summer house of the New Yorker writer Walt Whittaker (Carl Reiner) that is spending the weekend with his family in Gloucester. When he realizes that they are Russians, he believes that it is an invasion. Soon the information leaks, leading hysteria and paranoia along the inhabitants of the small village."The Russians Are Coming the Russians Are Coming" is a hilarious parody of the America's paranoia in times of Cold War. The situations are extremely funny and despite the dated theme, it is still a great comedy from the 60's. My vote is eight.Title (Brazil): "Os Russos Estão Chegando!" ("The Russians Are Coming!} – Not available on DVD or Blu-Ray.

jtwcosmos "We have... GOT... to get organized!"This is the story of a Russian sub running aground somewhere in New England, at the height of the cold war. A small party of sailors is sent on a mission to "infiltrate" the town, get a boat and tow it out of it's predicament. Comedy ensues.As far as comedies go, this is one of the more entertaining ones. It features a lot of great actors, a great script, good music and beautiful cinematography. The situations are funny, the story follows the rules of drama, starting small and growing and growing until it explodes out of all proportion. It is a fun movie to watch, even if it might not be the laugh-out-loud type.The directing is great. Norman Jewison does an excellent job, the camera work is very good, the angles are well chosen, the framing is perfect, even if he tends to use a lot of tight shots. Some of the scenes could have used a little more room to grow.The actors are great and the languages they speak are hilarious: American, Russian and body language, they all are great (even if no self respecting Russian would ever speak that way). Alan Arkin excels at using his body language and his impersonation of a soviet officer is memorable. Carl Reiner, Brian Keith and Jonathan Winters are hilarious. The music is good, funny and witty.As with other movies made by Mr. Jewison, this one has a message: people do not want to hate each other; it is a waste of time. And talking about time, the movie is a bit too long, at a little over two hours. Problem is I wouldn't know which part to leave out.The Russians are coming. A very entertaining comedy from 50 years ago, with one of the most hilarious trailers I have ever seen. 9/10.

TedMichaelMor What happened to make sixties comedies unpleasant? "The Russians Are Coming" presumably satirizes Cold War hysteria, but this mess does not work. This is not "Doctor Strangelove" and it is most certainly not "The Charge of the Light Brigand". Unlike the makers of those masterwork films,Norman Jewison never attains a plausible sense of the pervading hysteria of the sixties. I do not know why because he directed many excellent films. One would never know that from this movie.Eva Marie Saint is as enchantingly beautiful as she is in other films, but she is wasted here. What made anyone think that Carl Reiner and Jonathan Winters yelling was funny? Both men were said to be comedic geniuses, but here they are not comical. The dialogue is mind numbing and repetitive.An annoying aspect of the movie is that the largely California locations look nothing like New England, though Nantucket was one location used.This film is just not funny; that it might once have seemed amusing is a sad commentary on our taste during the sixties.
