LETTER TO BREZHNEV (1985)
CHRIS BERNARD
Plot
Two non-aspirational Scouser girls catch a bus into Liverpool for a night out on the town, there they meet a couple of Russian sailors and while one has a good shag the other falls in love. After the Ruski hops it back to Omsk she decides to emigrate to the USSR, permission for which she'll get with a 'Letter to Brezhnev'. Made on a showstring budget this unexpected hit is a comic romance of the first order.
