Letter to Brezhnev
Released: 1985
Comedy, Romance
The factories, pubs, clubs, hotels and streets of 1980s Liverpool form the backdrop for this tale of love, friendship, sex and a letter to the Soviet leader, Leonid Brezhnev. Two Liverpool lasses, Teresa and Elaine meet two Russian sailors, Sergei and Peter and hook up for a night of fun and frolics. Teresa is looking for sex and a smile, Elaine wants love, romance and the dream of a life far away from the grime of the Liverpool docklands. A classic British romantic comedy filled with new wave tunes, 80s fashion, a little politics and a lot of heart.

Scenes
Two women take turns using the toilet. Elaine (Alexandra Pigg) goes first, then Teresa (Margi Clarke). The scene is completely faked, as the characters only pretend to take their underwear down, there is no pee audio, and no pee in the toilet when they stand up. (One reader has observed that the flush is a "terrible waste of water.")
