Les aventures de Rabbi Jacob (1973)
(The Mad Adventures of Rabbi Jacob)
Country: FR/IT
Technical: Eastmancolor/1.66:1 100m
Director: Gérard Oury
Cast: Louis de Funès, Suzy Delair, Marcel Dalio, Miou-Miou
Synopsis:
On the run from a group of assassins and the police, a bigoted businessman and an Arab revolutionary disguise themselves as rabbis. It is too long to explain why.
Review:
One of those uproarious French farces, according to taste, which sets up some unlikely coincidences, creates various quid-pro-quos and retires to a safe distance until it is time to call 'halt' and resolve matters happily. Oury is a past master and the star a skilled exponent of the required comic demeanour: this was an enormous commercial success.
