Cold War hilarity
I was watching One, Two, Three starring James Cagney. James is just brilliant in this flick. I've only watched about 10min of the movie and I'm in love with it. I've already added it to my Amazon wishlist. (if the Pistons game wasn't coming on I'd watch it all) A great side note on it. Cagney is talking to some Soviets and one of them gives him a cigar:
(Macmanara is Cagney's character)
Peripetchikoff: We have trade agreement with Cuba. They send us cigars, we send them rockets.
C.R. Macnamara: Good thinking.
he smokes a few puffs..
Macnamara: They send you guys crummy cigars!
Peripetchikoff: Don't worry, we send them crummy rockets.
Oh yeah...Peripetchikoff is played by a guy who goes on to do a Highland Appliance ad in the late 70s as a Soviet sub commander. I'd recognize that accent anywhere.
