The Megillah '83

The delightful Itzik Manger play comes to the screen with this lighthearted comedy. The preparations a European Jewish community makes for the presentation of the Esther story, which serves as an anchor for the celebrations of Purim, have the hilarious effect of bringing out traits in the townsfolk that reflect the personalities of the characters they're portraying. Shlomo Bar-Aba, Jerry Hyman, Aviva Paz also star. 86 min. Standard; Soundtrack: English and Yiddish Dolby Digital stereo; Subtitles: English, Hebrew. In English and Yiddish with English subtitles.
