Not Now, Comrade (1976)

Not Now, Comrade is a 1976 British comedy film directed by Ray Cooney. It was a very loose follow up to the 1973 farce Not Now, Darling. It featured a number of British comedy actors of the era including Leslie Phillips, Windsor Davies, Don Estelle and Ian Lavender. The film was shot at Elstree studios, and was intended as the second in a series of ‘Not Now’ movies, but box office returns for the film, unlike those of its predecessor, were disappointing.

Synopsis

Russian ballet dancer Rudi Petrovyan wants to defect. Unable to reach the British embassy, and pursued by the KGB, he hides out with, and falls for, stripper Barbara Wilcox. But Rudi's escape route in the boot of a Triumph backfires when he accidentally climbs into the wrong car, and ends up in the country home of unsuspecting naval Commander Rimmington (Leslie Phillips).
