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.

So cleverly built and just a cute little story with so many fantastic characters

A decent concept with great physical comedy. Stretched out probably 45 minutes longer than it should have been. A bit of wasted potential.

Very funny and absurd Cold War commentary film, depicting how blind fear can lead to escalated absurd and dire consequences

I’d really loud sit coms are your thing, then this movie is perfect. It had a solid ending, and the humor was well done.

Satire of cold war mentality. A Russian sub lands on Long Island and Americans and Russians alike are terrified.

If you have never seen this classic comedy it has Cold War elements that really hit home in a world where each side was afraid of the other
