In this riot of frantic disguises and mistaken identities, 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 assasins 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 for his first visit after 30 years in the United States. Adding to the confusion are Pivert's dentist-wife, who thinks her husband is leaving her for another woman, their daughter, who's about to get married, and a Parisian neighborhood filled with people eager to celebrate the return of Rabbi Jacob.

Louis de Funès at his best. Some people may nowadays feel offended for jew when seeing this movie, but most jews will not be. They will appreciate how a non-jew has managed to get jewish humour so to the point that it is just a pleasure to watch and laugh about it. It was made out of love for the things that are different and not in order to shame the differences. Enjoy it!
