A bearable slapstick comedy with a very powerful human and political ending.
This older movie on DVD is one of a kind. Even though it was produced in the mid 1960s, it is a perfect movie for people now with all of the Russia Hysteria that exists in the USA. It shows that we are all human beings with normal emotions no matter where we come from. I encourage anyone to order this film and watch every minute of it ... especially the ending. One should also watch the special feature enclosed on the DVD called, "The Russians are Coming to Hollywood" ... not find-able anywhere else than on this DVD. It is an interview with the producer and a time piece of sorts and a short history of the "cold war" in the 60s. ... And like that.

Even a great cast couldn't save this awful movie
Much as I admire Norman Jewison's body of work, this movie did not hold up. The price was worth it from a nostalgia point of view and not sorry I purchased it, but OMG, it was awful!

A madcap parable about the 60s and the Cold War
Great scenery, great characters, great visuals and a lot of fun for the over 50 crowd: a lot of familiar faces and skits from the 50s and 60s, faces who are now long gone. It's a pleasant visit to watch them work again. The movie is a Mirisch production, always entertaining, and is a parable about the 60s and the Cold War. The Cold War is a concept lost to those who are under 50 so some of the setups would be lost to younger viewers. But, a Soviet submarine runs aground off a New England island. Putting a group of sailors ashore to get help to pull the sub free turns into a chaotic mess as each new island authority figure who gets involved keeps adding to the panic with little information and lots of fear. Now we have a Russian invasion! And residents are getting armed to resist them. How Mirisch et al. resolve this situation makes up for all the clumsiness and stupidity laid out here and common sense somehow prevails. No plot spoiler here, this is a comedy... and a pleasant entertainment. Grab your popcorn and cold drinks, settle in and enjoy.

Great Movie !
We had seen this movie on the late show some mouths back and could not see it all that night. So we pick it up on e-bay and I must say very funny it has a lot of the old good actors in it I am sure any one that gets it will like it.

Outstanding Movie
The Russians are Coming is one of the funniest movies ever made and high farce comedy at its best! Made at the height of the Cold War, it was an attempt to show Russians and Americans are similar. An All Star cast of Hollywoods funniest actors of the 1950s & 60s. Really a funny take on Paul Reveare and the Minute Men in a Cold War setting. Again, Killer Funny!!!

Great movie night film
I saw this movie years ago. Occasionally it would show on cable but when I tried to purchase it I could not find it. I decided to try to locate it on e-bay. This is a great family film and is both touching and funny. I am happy to have been able to purchase it.

Cold War sentiments
I originally saw this as a double feature at a theater on Lankershiem Blvd in North Hollywood with, “Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner. “. Great movie during the Cold War with a lot of famous stars

A movie worth owning and seeing again and again.
A wonderful and funny film that I had not had the pleasure to see since I saw it in original release. It still holds up and Alan Arkin is terrific;
