    This movie explains why Columbus Day should be left alone.

    Amazing conversation between two diplomats, one young (American), and serious the other (Russian),old and worn out. Between sessions of peace meetings in Geneva they sit in park to relax. Exceptvfhe American wants to talk serious but his Russian counterpart wants to be frivolous. They strike a bargain, you tell me about cowboys and Indians and I will talk serious. During the Russians serious talk he explains what would have happened if Russia would have discovered AMERICA instead of Columbus. His explanation is worth the watch to me. Great performances by Waterson and Prosky (Hill Street Blues). Enjoy.
