In high school I was unfortunate enough to have to watch that movie 3 times in one 12 month period (early 2nd semester 1 class, late the same 2nd semester for a different class, and early the next year in a 3rd). I can only remember 3 things about the movie:
it was snowing all the time
the balalaika music was interesting at first but got grating about halfway through the second viewing
I hated it

Great post..LOL! They released a lot of schlock from Hollywood back in the 1960s...the casts and crews were high and/or drunk, and just because it was the thing to do, many of these silly movies were part of the "it scene". They shoved them at the public, who lapped up this garbage, mainly because movies were then the main form of affordable entertainment. The libs could also shove a lot of leftwing politics into any movie's message.

Oh, it really was so zen and there! Sock it to me, peace and groovy, man. LOL!

If you think that's annoying, try putting up with a bouzouki in a cheese shop!

I'm sorry, I just finished a rough day at work, and for some reason, I'm just in total smart-@$$ mode. I'll try to control myself. Really, I will.
