I really enjoyed this! Why is it that it?s not very well known? One line in this had me wetting myself, I highly recommend it!
Annoying and unfunny Williams vehicle that fails to either make any coherent political point or entertain in any way.
Original seriocomedy balancing the haphazard, random, chaotic feel of everyday life with one man's determination to gain US citizenship. Maria Conchita Alonso is superb, though most impressive is Robin Williams.

How can you ever say enough about Robin Williams?? This man has God-given talent and real heart!! Delightful film!! (1984 Director: Paul Mazursky) Delightful film...here is synopsis from Netflix (It has been years since I have seen this! Just reflecting on the genius of ROBIN WILLIAMS!)
Moscow Circus saxophone player Vladimir Ivanoff (Robin Williams) defects in Bloomingdale's while on tour in New York City. Befriended and temporarily housed by security guard Lionel Witherspoon (Cleavant Derricks), Vladimir experiences many misadventures -- and a longing for his family. But his loneliness is soon lifted by lovely Lucia (Maria Conchita Alonso). Paul Mazursky directs this Golden Globe-nominated comedy.
What a range this actor has...just look at his Filmography!!! Nanu Nanu...to [my personal favorite!} POPEYE, Mrs. Doubtfire to Jumangi, RV ..to Final Cut & Insomnia (with Al Pacino)!!
