CGiii Comment

Williams sheds his Mork skin and certainly impresses.

The script is littered with gay characters and gay slurs.

If the director had gone down the multiculturalism avenue then, this might have been a decent film. Instead, it's a series of Americana snippets...by the end, it simply runs out of steam.

The(ir) Blurb...

A Russian circus visits the US. A clown wants to defect, but doesn't have the nerve. His saxophone playing friend however comes to the decision to defect in the middle of Bloomingdales.
