Line 2:
''Don't Drink the Water'' is a comedy play written by [[Woody Allen]]. Written and set in [[The Sixties]], the play bases itself around the [[Cold War]]. In an unnamed European country behind the [[Iron Curtain]], the American Ambassador must leave the Embassy for business. In his absence he places his incompetent son Axel Magee in charge. Almost immediately the Embassy is thrust into a crisis as the Hollanders, an American family of tourists, come rushing in on the run from the Communist police. Walter, the father, had accidentally snuck into a high security area and taken pictures, causing the communist to believe the family are spies. Axel digs the hole deeper and the embassy is surrounded, leaving the Hollanders trapped.
Two movie versions exist, one that came out in 1969 starring [[Jackie Gleason]] as Walter, and a TV movie in 1994 starring Allen as Walter, [[The Simpsons (animation)|Julie Kavner]] as Marion, Michael J. Fox as Axel, [[The Big Bang Theory|Mayim]] [[Blossom|Bialik]] as Susan, and Dom Deluise as Father Drobney.
