Product Information
Vladimir Ivanoff (Robin Williams) is a Russian saxophone player for the Moscow circus. Life in Russia is difficult and unrewarding, but he silently accepts the corruption of the Communist party and the constant threat of KGB spies because he enjoys his job, has a steady girlfriend, and loves his family. However, his friend Anatoly (Elya Baskin) dreams of freedom in America and makes plans to defect when the circus announces an American tour to New York. Their trip to the Big Apple is thrilling, full of exciting revelations, and on their last day in New York they are allowed 30 minutes to shop in Bloomingdale's, surrounded by tempting American merchandise. While Anatoly loses his nerve, Vladimir is awakened with the desire to defect and manages to outrun the KGB. Suddenly Vladimir is a free man with no family or friends and no chance of ever returning to his homeland. With the help of a Bloomingdale's security guard (Cleavant Derricks) and a pretty Italian makeup counter saleswoman (Maria Conchita Alonso), Vladimir finds a place to stay and a wide variety of odd jobs to start out his new life in the United States. As Vladimir struggles to make it in America, he longs for his family and his homeland, wrestling with the magnitude of his choice. Williams gives an honest and heartfelt performance in this touching and witty comedy by Paul Mazursky.Product Identifiers

It is worth sharing
I have passed this on to other who, amazingly, have never seen or heard of it. They loved it!! I watched this decades ago, off and on since. I find it to be a thoroughly wonderful film. How it is possible it won no awards still blows my mind. Perhaps the prevailing hatred of Russians in the 80s did not allow it to be liked. Here is a copy/paste quote from a co-worker I loaned it to. "The coffee scene, for as short as it was, was incredibly well done. Showing off a stark contrast between Moscow in the opening, where everyone is getting into line after line to get basic staples vs New York, where long aisles showcase vast quantities and varieties of even the simplest of things (like coffee), and conveying it so perfectly, while still being funny. Even better, was the short, easily missed quote, where he asked the cashier where's the coffee line (a reference back to Moscow's bread lines). And Maria Alonso was drop-dead gorgeous in 1984. A real stunner. My favorite scene was the Diner, where he meets the other Russian who was already living in NY for several years. A little humor, but it gave way to the heart of the movie's plot and it was well done. " Even the heatless will be touch at the diner scene. A great movie to watch every July 4thVerified purchase: YesCondition: New

Funny and erotic
You get a good sense of range from nearly every character . The story centers around hardship and chaos while the actors portray warmth , brotherhood and love for ones country. Also there are some tastefully sexy momentsVerified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
