Russia House, The

A very well-written movie with good acting and a great
score. From the writing of Tom Stoppard to the musical
composition by Jerry Goldsmith, this solid spy thriller and
love story keeps you wanting more. Connery is at his very
best, and Pfiefer does a good job as Katya. This movie's
real suprise--in addition to the soundtrack--is the
performance of Roy Scheider, who is at his cynical best.
Surely an adult movie in the best sense of the word, the
scenery from Moscow and St. Petersburg--indeed the film was
the first western film that the Soviet Union allowed to be
shot in their country--is breathtaking. A great movie in
every respect.

Having been to Moscow and St. Petersburg in the late 80's
and early 90's, this film captured the essence of what
attracts westerners to Russia. The scenery alone is worth
the viewing.
