Even though it's nearly 40 years old, it's not quite dated yet. Substitute any other socialist/communist nation and the opening scenes will work. The rest of the movie, showing an "immigrant" adjusting to American life and ways is both entertaining and timeless.

Moscow on the Hudson is a 1984 American romantic comedy-drama film written and directed by Paul Mazursky which stars Robin Williams as a Soviet circus musician who defects while on a visit to the United States. It co-stars María Conchita Alonso (in her film debut), Elya Baskin as the circus clown, Savely Kramarov as one of two KGB apparatchiks, Alejandro Rey as the musician's immigration attorney, and Cleavant Derricks as his first American host and friend.

The film was released on April 6, 1984.

A good film that showcases the talents or Robin Williams.
I never find good films dated, maybe because I'm older that almost all of them or maybe because they have something to teach us about how people saw the world at that time.
 
I saw this movie when it first came out. I don't remember a thing about it except the part where Robin Williams freaks out at all the varieties of coffee in the grocery store. :lol:
