Leonid Gaidai: The Diamond Arm (1968)
Description: Diamond Arm was a classic Soviet comedy that managed to spoof both James Bond thrillers and Soviet life at the same time. Like the James Bond classic From Russia with Love, it took place in Istanbul. In this scene Gennady (Gena), a member of the smuggling band, played by Andrei Mironov, tries to separate himself from his roommate on the cruise ship. He gets lost in the old city, while his unwitting roommate stumbles onto the rendevous point, uttering the password 'Damn it!' (Chert poberi) by accident, and is quickly loaded up with contraband diamonds. A series of zany adventures ensues, which endeared the film to Soviet viewers and makes it a favorite until today.
