Greetings!

A Russian immigrant friend of mine here in Indianapolis was trying to tell
me about a film which made a great impression on her in Moscow in the
1970s, which showed under the title Generaly peschanyx kar'erov. She
thought it was an American film, and would like to see it again. I couldn't
come up with a title for her. Does anyone happen know if this is really an
American film, and if so (or even if not), what the original title is? This
smacks of a rephrasing, e.g., like Some Like It Hot, which became something
like V Dzhaze tol'ko devushki in Russia.
