Moscow on the Hudson

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.
