A Russian ship requested to borrow a movie from us in Madras once. We lent them 'Get Carter' and a few of us went across to interpret the story to those who couldn't speak English. Anybody who has ever drank with Russians will know the result.
I'm sure they showed the reels in wrong order but with all the sex and violence (Carter got killed in the second reel the way they showed it) they were completely happy. (Apparently it made a change from their films 'Ivans Wondrous Day in the Tractor Factory.' )

There was no mercy with the drinking … self destruct in 10 minutes or you're a pansy. I had a 2 day hangover after that.
