The captain of the soviet submarine threats with blowing up the town, and the Chief of the Police ask him for his name and address. Great film, I enjoyed it a lot.
2:32 is the most important part of the scene. The sheriff mumbles "Well I am, anyway", and Rozanov can clearly hear him, but doesn't reveal that to sumbmarine commander. That short look they share is enough for both of them to realise they're together in this.
I have only seen this film once, as a child, when it first was shown on TV. The one scene that has stayed with me is this one, in particular when Brian Keith's Sheriff admits He is scared, and Alan Arkin's character doesn't translate this to the submarine character. What I have only noticed now, when I searched UA-cam for this scene, is the quick, ghost of a smile from Arkin when the Sheriff realizes what happened and glances at Arkin. Subtle, brilliant acting from Arkin (R.I.P.).
I remember reading that the movie was screened by members of the Russian government and as the Russian sailors were portrayed in a sympathetic light, one member of the Russian audience watching the movie actually broke down in tears at the end.
@@Человек-ч4в3я As the director of the movie, Norman Jewison, was invited to Russia and present at the time and was the one reporting it, no, it wasn't propaganda.
A GREAT movie. Truly an under-appreciated comedy, and yet, this scene and the one that follows when they save the little boy and escort the sub out to sea, are as stirring as you'll see in movies (no matter how many times I get goosebumps when watching). Trivia for your next cocktail party: Brian Keith was fluent in Russia in real life but had to have Arkin, who didn't know Russian, translate. Peace.
@@m998hmmwv7 The boy was actor Johnny Whitaker who impressed Brian Keith so much that Keith lobbied to have him star as his nephew in TV's Family Affair.
Russian dialogue translation: 0:17 "Tell him that I'm going to blow this town to pieces!!!! 0:55 "He wants our address" The Captain: "Point your gun. Take aim right between their eyes." Most of the other dialogue is translated word-for-word.
Not great Russian, but it's not a horrible mangling of the language; a real Russian wouldn't say these things in this way, but they'd understand without problems.
+mechtild fivefive (mechtild jd) Great flick, watching it right now on a local channel...Interesting factoid, the film was not shot in New England, rather, Norther California. Now that I know that if feels less "New Englandish", really should have been shot in Mass.
I just love this scene. The beginning, Alan Arkin's character translates, "...he says...eh...he's angry, yes? He says, eh...'You stupid idiot. He will blow up the town." Then he gives Brian Keith a slap on the arm, like, alright, pal, it's your turn. So well done!
My favorite part comes right before when Brian Keith first notices Alan Arkin: Brian Keith: Who's he? Carl Reiner: Oh, he's ok. Keith: What? Reiner: He's with me. Keith: He's WHAT? Reiner: He's been to my house. Keith: He's been to your WHAT?
I remember reading Benchley's book, THE OFF- ISLANDERS in 1962 and thinking it would make a good movie. Four years later... Ta- da! My favorite part of this scene is the look between Keith and Arkin at 2:36. Lt. Rozanov chooses not to interpret his remark to the captain. Brilliant! Norman Jewison directed the landmark film, In the Heat of the Night, only one year after this one.
The deck gun would have blown a big hole in their packed ranks and prevented immediate return fire by at least half of them. The MG would have quickly accounted for many more. These are largely untrained civilians, bearing mostly single-shot weapons, who are unused to fighting -- and certainly to fighting together. The presence of women and kids in the crowd would also have hampered the citizens' response.
Literally the Cold War. Amazing movie. That ending gave me blue balls though, cut it off right as the thing that I'm not gonna spoil is about to happen
ARKIN'S FAMILY HAD EMIGRATED FROM RUSSIA TO BROOKLYN AND HE Was FLUENT, but unknown bit actor. THIS was the role that launched his career. Nearly everything he appeared in was FABULOUS SO INCREDIBLY REALISTIC. Some of the imigre Russian actors didn't need to speak english they just played Russian sailors, though John Philip Law was NOT Russian and they must have dubbed in some of what he said. The Sub Captain was Austrian who knew some Russian and improvised. After half a century the theme remains is true today as it was then if we can just get people to laugh!
If you read the wiki article about this movie it says the Russian High command arranged for a private showing of this movie and many of the Commie big shots wept after the end of the movies.
(Them) "Oh crud....these people have guns... lots of guns...look like they're well versed in the use of them too, and more than willing to fire on us. We've never had to deal with this before!" (Us) "Well now, no sheet....you're in our waters, in our town.....so.....welcome to America bud!"
When planning the attack on Pearl Harbor, Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto warned the Japanese High Command that invading the West Coast of the U.S. was not an option, as they would face "a rifle behind every blade of grass." Having been educated at Harvard and having traveled extensively in the U.S., he became quite familiar with Americans and their culture. He thought it was a bad idea to hit Pearl, but followed the orders of the High Command, stating that in the first 6-12 months of the war he would "run wild" around the Pacific, but "after that he could promise nothing".
It's kind of a good reminder for the fact that America has more licensed deer hunters alone than other countries have troops in their armies . Never give up your right to own firearms
@@claudebernard6427 Try not to forget that it was a bunch of guys with guns that gave their own lives so that you could have the schools and universities .
Ошибочное, достаточно почитать мемуары американцев в Корее или Вьетнаме. Всеже этот фильм антивоенный так сказать переживание после Карибского кризиса когда одни разместили першинги в Турции а другие на Кубе . После чего чуть не расстреляли друг друга боясь отступить.
This is the best movie .I wish Russians today in 2022 were as nice as they were during the Cold War .the Russians during the Cold War never fired a single shot at NATO countries .they were kind and decent .unfortunately today Russia is not the same unfortunately
Maybe not. Look up the true story _The Surprising Story of the American Girl Who Broke Through the Iron Curtain_ . The way I see it playing out is that the story of the Russian sailor saving the little boy makes its way into the news (too many people saw it for it to remain secret). American news agencies bill the event as "heroic rescue by Soviet sailors". Story makes international news and people demand to know more. American president formally thanks Russian sailors (to make himself look good in an effort to help his reelection). Russian Premier in an effort to outdo the American president honors the men of the sub publicly. = they do not get shot. [EDIT] But the captain gets a major chewing out.
But for the sight of a well armed citizen militia, a Russian captain might have just started shooting. In Soviet Union, civillians were forbidden from owning firearms.
I never tire of this film. Made 8 years before my birth. It was only a few years ago that I learned that this was not shot in Mass but N.California, while I love this movie, the fact that it was shot in Northern California is kinda a bummer.
I took Russian in college (a long time ago) and I understood about half of what Arkin said and it was a correct translation - and excellent pronunciation! Alan Arkin is the man!
That's because this movie came out at a time when America was: A) experiencing a little of the beginnings of a (regrettably short-lived) expansion of consciousness, and: B) had it's belly-full of war, for a while ('til the country lapsed into its normal state of amnesia, of course, and forgot the realities of war, like the stupid country she is..)
Кто??? Такие??? Сброд насильник, убийц, прохиндеев, каторжан, обманщиков, картежников, и тд! История США, вот она такая, а по щам получите за мою Родину!
evry almost every american owns a gun lol thats forsure i know here in detroit we have ak 47s dessert eagles on the streets flee markets everywere i guess if we did ever have a war here we wouldent lack on firepower lol thats for sure light it up like the 4th haha
the sad story is while this is an entertaining film, it's satirical message sadly has not aged well. The Russians really DID COME to the Ukraine, and unlike this film, the issue was not resolved by clearing up a misunderstanding by helping trapped Russian sailors get home. Only a cold war style military action expelled the soviets from the Ukraine thus far. I wish it didn't have to be that way, but unfortunately nobody in the Russian ranks can talk sense into Putin or the KGB.
I like this movie. I like that they didn't portray Russians as the stereotypical enemy, even in the middle of the Cold War. This was a funny movie.
Look at you,now
The captain of the soviet submarine threats with blowing up the town, and the Chief of the Police ask him for his name and address. Great film, I enjoyed it a lot.

A great motion picture that should have gotten the academy award for best picture of 1966.
It did win best comedy or musical.
I remember seeing this movie as a kid in New York at a drive-in.
Thanks for the memories.

Love this movie. Especially love this scene. ❤ Wish they had not cut it off until they saved the child. 😊
I was surprised to learn that Brian Keith spoke perfect Russian but in this movie he played the American Police Chief.
On the serious side to shows here how powerful a force armed citizens can be.

News Headline... Local townsfolk hold Soviet Submarine at gun point after the sub entered there little harbor and threatened them.
where's the cow bell?
Is Arkin really speaking in Russian? I tried to learn your language until the music thing took over.
I took Russian in college (a long time ago) and I understood about half of what Arkin said and it was a correct translation - and excellent pronunciation!
Alan Arkin is the man!
The captain says "myezhdu glazami" which means "between the eyes", so it's definitely Russian.
Da, on govorit' name nastoyashem russkom!
