RE: Springtime for Hitler FOOTNOTE

Randy Black says he "watched James Bond movies on Russian television in the mid-90s; it always used only one translator for all the parts to do a voice-over translation of the English language adventures. Can you imagine one man doing all the parts, whether male or female. It was especially funny when Bond was romancing a female, listening to him profess love and then her responding, in the came, gravely, Soviet male voice.
 
Randy's Russian wife points out that "she was never told that Americans were a danger to the USSR and that she does not recall any Soviet-era movies that vilified the USA. "The USSR never produced a movie named, "The Americans are coming, The Americans are coming." (in difference to "The Russians are coming, the Russians are coming," the 1966 US comedy involving a Soviet submarine and some folks in Maine".

RH: Can Cameron Sawyer verify what Randy's wife says?
