About the film:

A frantic French comedy classic starring Louis de Funès as a bigoted businessman forced to disguise himself as an Orthodox rabbi to escape both Arab assassins and the police. It is a fast-paced, slapstick-filled satire known for its iconic performances, mistaken identities, and ultimately a heartwarming message of tolerance.
