Circus saxophonist Vladimir Ivanoff 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. Soon he has found both a voluptuous Italian lover Lucia Lombardo, and a shrewd Cuban lawyer Orlando Ramirez. Though Vladimir learns that life in America can be cold and even painful, he grows to love this strange and wondrous new land.

"A wonderful movie... It made me feel good to be an American." -Roger Ebert Robin Williams will make you laugh and cry as a freedom-loving Soviet defector in this brilliant, thought-provoking romantic comedy. Director Paul Mazursky has truly transformed Vladimir's declaration of independence into a very memorable film.
