Moscow on the Hudson - Robin Williams -- BETA

Robin Williams will make you laugh and cry as a freedom-loving Soviet defector in this brilliant, thought provoking melodrama. Circus saxophonist Vladimir Ivanoff (Williams) suddenly defects from his touring troupe in that temple of "Western decadence"—Bloomingdale's. Fleeing the K.G.B., Vladimir wins asylum and moves into the crowded Harlem flat of Black security guard Lionel Witherspoon (Cleavant Derricks). Soon he has found both a voluptuous Italian lover, Lucia Lombardo (Maria Conchita Alonso), and a shrewd Cuban lawyer, Orlando Ramirez (Alejandro Rey). Though Vladimir learns that life in America can be cold and even painful, he grows to love this strange and wondrous new land. Director Paul Mazursky has transformed Vladimir's declaration of independence into a memorable film.
