The Russians Are Coming Movie Theme

[@juliaillescas6503]

Love the counterpoint of a sprightly "Yankee Doodle" with the strains of both "The Volga Boatmen" and "O Field, my Field" (Polyushko-Pole). One of my favorite films. Wonderful cast!

[@InYourFaceNewYorker]

RIP Alan Arkin, who died two days ago. This movie got me into his work decades ago, and I've been a lifelong fan ever since.

[@DATo_DATonian]

I too became a huge fan after watching this movie and _Freebie and The Bean_ .

[@waynezimmerman5308]

Rest in Peace: Johnny Mandel, the composer, who died today 6/30/2020 at age 94.

i'm not Russian, i'm American, but even I get annoyed at all the dehumanization that went on during the Cold War (and sort of was repeated to a lesser extent against Arabs more recently). I like movies like this. They're eye opening, theyre hilarious, theyre memorable, and they actually have a moral message too Russians are people too!

[@JB-yb4wn]

+David C Rigght on! Wonderful movie, well written, well acted, far better than anything put out today. This movie is over 50 years old and still holds well. So before anyone says something stupid, watch the movie, it was nominated for an academy award in 1965.

[@cameraman655]

Yeah, I hear ya, you should see some Soviet films depicting Americans back then, sorry, it goes both ways..

[@АзизТургунов-ъ8ц]

No, Russians from another universe. They are unhuman sadists

[@WolvenDance]

This is my all time favorite movie! It's so funny and light hearted.

[@GeorgeVreelandHill]

I love this movie. It is a wonderful and funny film from the 1960's. I saw it as a kid at a drive-in. Thank you for posting the theme. George Vreeland Hill

[@karencontestabile6125]

I saw the movie! Terrific! It applies today just as it applied in the sixties!

[@justforever96]

This has been my favorite film since I was a little boy; it's much better when you're old enough to understand it, but I always found it fascinating. And it gave me an appreciation of Russian choral singing!

[@garymilliken5053]

@@eyeball8010 Hm... Clearly Mr. Eye Ball didn't see the movie, since his sentiments are just about the exact opposite of those in the movie.

[@jarrodbury2400]

I remember watching this when I was younger and LOVING it.

[@ramjetrabbit]

Between this movie, "Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines", and "It's a Mad, Mad World", you could laugh yourself silly. Thanks so much for posting!

[@Txboy85A]

I love this, thanks so much for posting it! I've been wanting to find the theme song for some time now.

[@medalofhonor1919]

Thank you so much! I've been looking for the name of that song for ages!

[@SnooperSquirrelFilms]

Great Movie... i hope someone can find and post the entire movie...thanks for posting what you have

[@ShannonForaker]

music theme is amazing!

[@jhonnytrujillo9271]

Muy bien muchachito, muy bien jejeje.

[@MsPandaRosa]

Have to admit, it was a fitting mashup long before the concept's parents had even met.

[@justforever96]

LOL, even got the Captains eye in the periscope..."_heh-heh...heh-heh-heh..._"

[@cellofingers]

Good job anyway brought back good memories!

[@Zoras88]

You could play this on both sides and no one could tell who it's for.

[@CaptainJZH]

Well I am one of the few on KZbin who tries to be open-minded and understanding (By the way, I'm NOT saying that you aren't open-minded or understanding) But getting back to my original point, even if you do not like this movie, and I disagree with what you said about it, I respect your opinion.

[@phourthefunovit]

I always liked this movie.

[@kingbadmovie]

Does anyone know the name of the song that plays when the Russians first actually land on the shore with their boat, and then later when the air force leaves?

[@peterson7082]

The Volga River Boatmen if I recall. Sorry if its eight years late.

[@bearfedway]

RIP Norman Jewison (Director/Producer)

[@emilliomyles4509]

wow I love the moment at :56

[@sassysauron2426]

Polyushko-pole, polyushko, shiroko pole, Edut po polyu geroi, Eh, da krasnoj armii geroi.

[@emilliomyles4509]

+Ryan Frizzell yep that sounds exactly like what they said. Even though I'm sure I couldn't pronounce anything right.

[@emilliomyles4509]

+Emillio Myles do you know were I can find just that part of the song?

[@comradevasily4180]

Emillio Myles same comrade

[@cameraman655]

Emillio Myles Of course you damn Commie!

[@Historian212]

Contrary to someone's post down below, the director Norman Jewison is NOT Jewish. Not that it matters, just saying.

[@markbrandus]

Man, top drawer.

[@BigBrainNicky]

THE RUSSIANS DID IT!

[@miguelmouta]

@dchris1990 Then I was also a child here, at Brazil . I think the anticommunist atmosphere imposed by the military dictatorship was such strong , which maybe never existed in US since the Macarthy era. I remember my family ,as well as other persons ,being surprised from the title, and scared of going to the cinemas, choosing other movies.

[@KeshHarp]

@kingbadmovie ..the song when the shore party sets out is the Soldier's Chorus from the opera 'The Decembrists' by Yuri A. Shaporin...hope this helps

[@Racingirl911]

LOVED THIS MOVIE!! It was funny as all get out!!! :•D

[@123456RaulMorales]

[@romanza_28]

Эй ухнем!

[@unclestone8406]

"Push, boys, push!"

[@MsPandaRosa]

@dchris1990 Your comments are most moving and true. Still, the final breakthrough comes when the Russians now Arabs see this too, and aye there's the rub. But we must be willing to dream, and God bless all dreamers, on both sides.

[@donnaweaver9313]

[@rokolin5t]

reminds me of Barney

[@Soundwave3591]

you keep quiet.

[@RichardRingo1]

A good film, but I've never trusted the Ruskies, and I never will.

[@FordFalcon1962nBlue]

because of a movie..

[@Charliecomet82]

Hill-bot!

This was a really funny movie..but towards the end of the movie they threw in a little bit of the soon to be let's let us become "friends"...but i in case you don't see what's going on in the world...communism did not go away...it just "changed it location"...the old "us vs them" is continuing and more DANGEROUS then ever...

[@ashish_p_sasi]

SOVIET flag was more beautiful 🟥🟥🟥🟥

[@spagandtuna]

Excellent premise and would have done better as a straight drama or comedy ONLY IF the script had been more inspired. As it is, this is a plodding piece of dull nonsense that would be a total snore if Reiner hadn't been yelling at points throughout that break the slumber. Love Arkin but he really has nothing to work with here. '66 definitely a bad year for movies since this dung was nominated for BP.
