More Russian movies

[John Dunn]

It's not really an American film, even if it stars Burt Lancaster and parts of it are set in Houston (Texas, rather than Renfrewshire), but Bill Forsyth's 'Local Hero' has a couple of scenes in which representatives of the Soviet fishing fleet come ashore in the north-west of Scotland to transact various improbable business deals.   The ferociously bad-tempered woman driver of the launch bringing the men ashore was played by a former colleague of mine.

Did anyone mention White Nights with Mikhail Baryshnikov and Gregory Hines?
