Boris and Natasha: The Movie

Boris and Natasha The Movie is a 1992 comedy film that was loosely based on the animated television series The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show. It was shot in New York City. The actors did not attempt to copy the accents of their animated counterparts, and although Rocky and Bullwinkle do not appear in this film, they are referred to by the names Agent Moose and Agent Squirrel. This was due to the production companys inability to secure the rights to the animated characters likenesses for this film. Originally intended for a theatrical release, this film was produced by Management Company Entertainment Group for Showtime Networks, and aired on Showtime on April 17, 1992.

Boris and Natasha are given an apartment and money, while being watched from a distance by Agent X, who himself is being followed by a mysterious figure. Boris and Natasha have to meet with a secret assassin named Kalishak, who supposedly knows who they should seek, but first have to deal with their nextdoor neighbors, Toots and Harve, who are very interested in knowing about them. Toots assumes Boris and Natasha are a couple, and when Natasha denies it, Toots figures shes wrong. Natasha, who has become a little fascinated with America, also learns from Toots that American couples usually help each other, something Boris and Natasha do not.They find Kalishak, who denies that he knows anything about the professor. After accepting a bribe, Kalishak acts as a shoeshine boy and tells Boris Search your sole, which Boris doesnt understand. After they leave, one of Kalishaks potatoes is replaced with a bomb, killing Kalishak. Natasha later sees information written on the sole of Boris shoe, telling them to find Minelli. Disguised as rug cleaners, they go to the location written on the shoe, where they learn that the Minelli theyre looking for is Sal Minelli, a photographer whose photos hang on the walls, but does not actually work in that location. Natasha then gets an offer for a photo shoot and a party for it, which Boris figures will be a good opportunity to meet Sal Minelli. To pass the time before the party they go shopping at a mall, but the next day Natasha returns, going shopping with Toots, behind Boris back. She learns that Toots doesnt need Harves permission to do things, and learns more about their married life. Boris says a code phrase to many photographers, to no avail, before not being allowed in, but Natasha soon hits celebrity status. ........
