If you loved Down and Out in Beverly Hills, try Moscow on the Hudson

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Paul Mazursky, and they both carry the cozy, outsider mood tags, and they sit in Comedy territory. If that's the register that drew you to Down and Out in Beverly Hills, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Moscow on the Hudson is

Paul Mazursky's culture-clash comedy asks: what if a Russian saxophonist suddenly chose freedom? Our hero defects in Bloomingdale's, then ricochets through the five boroughs, buoyed by new friends and romantic prospects. It's a sweet movie, if a little dated in its assumptions.
