Dear Ever-Helpful and Knowledgeable Seelangstsy:

I am applying to teach at an Elderhostel-type of program this summer, and
would like to propose a course which examined the portrayals of Russians in
American (or perhaps Western) films, and the reverse, portrayals of Americans
(or perhaps Westerners) in Russian films.

Does anyone have any titles to suggest, from either category?  (I have a
greater knowledge of the former than the latter, but would gladly take
suggestions for either group.)  Suggestions for sources on American/Western
stereotypes of Russians and/or the reverse (Russian stereotypes of
Americans/Westerners) would also be quite helpful.

If folks would like to respond directly to me at <CCRzoya at aol.com>, I'd be
happy to send a summary of all replies to the list with a week or two.

Gratefully,

Cindy Ramsey
