I saw this as a kid and didn't understand what was so funny about Arkin searching her bag...but the adults were roaring.

Alan Arkin's work in this movie was genius. The movie is comedic genius. Excellent writing and directing. Did not miss a beat over the whole hour + 20 minutes. The part here, where Arkin understands the pronunciation of Glocester is a gem. What foreigner WOULD know how the locals pronounced it. Genius.

Classic cinema. Sadly We’ll never see good comedy like this anymore.

Almost impossible to find keys in a woman's purse. My wife can rarely do it herself.

Some years ago a friend brought me some 16mms films he'd found in a piano. One reel was behind the scenes of The Russians are coming. I still have it.

A Russian guy digging through crap in a woman's purse. Funniest.

Been watching and laughing since seeing it in the theater in 1966. Some of the best bits are tiny cameos - Doro Merande as Muriel Everett, the guy with the runny nose at the airport, the guy who says "C'mon Norman, they're opening up the bah", the other guy who says, "It's all over, we don't stand a chance, not a chance, " the immortal Fendall with the sword "every second man go to your car, " and of course, Jonathan Winters' face.

Acting is excellent. Just the facial expressions.

Came here because I watched this for the very first time and lost it at this scene. Arkin and Reiner killed it. They don’t make movies like this anymore. 🤣❤️

[ПростоГМ]

Excellent film! Not very funny for me but cute and interesting.

Actors really did a great job and their Russian is good but (2:00) "Пришлите сюда пулемет" means "bring the machine gun" :-)

Greetings from Russia.

Sad that the creator(carl reiner) has passed. R.I.P

[roberthaworth]

Even 55 years later I remember how the Russians couldn't pronounced "Gloucester", b/c my township in NJ is Gloucester.

[Chimera_Aelflaed]

"Coastal Guardians"..."No U.S. of Airports" .... L0L !!

[reving]

Good job by everyone here but that third Russian murdered Mickey Rooney’s wife and killed himself in real life.
