This Golden
Globe-nominated comedy of frantic disguises and mistaken identities is one
of the most popular films in CAC history! Victor Pivert, a blustering, bigoted
French factory-owner, finds himself taken hostage by Slimane, an Arab rebel
leader. The two dress up as rabbis as they try to elude not only assassins from
Slimane's country, but also the police, who think Pivert is a murderer. Pivert
ends up posing as Rabbi Jacob, a beloved figure who's returned to France after
30 years in the United States. (France
& Italy, 1973, 95 mins, French, English, Hebrew, Yiddish, Arabic | Dir.
Gérard Oury)
