THE MAD ADVENTURES OF RABBI JACOB

Thursday, August 24th at 7:30 PM

$15 Public | $10 Members

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)
