Don't Drink the Water (1969) (original) (raw)
In this send-up of the Cold War based on Woody Allen's play, a New Jersey caterer's vacation to Europe turns into an international espionage incident. When the plane carrying Walter Hollander, his wife, and beautiful daughter is hijacked to Vulgaria, all it takes is Walter snapping a few photos on his first Iron Curtain tarmac and the family is arrested for spying. After taking refuge in the American Embassy and with no hope of ever getting out, it's up to Walter to outfox the Vulgarian army and prove he's a lot smarter than chopped liver.
