Les Aventures de Rabbi Jacob was released in France in 1973, directed by Gérard Oury and starring Louis de Funès as the bigoted industrialist Victor Pivert, who ends up disguised as a rabbi. Its dance sequence in the Rue des Rosiers, the historic Jewish quarter of Paris, became one of the most beloved scenes in French comedy. Composed by Vladimir Cosma, the music blends klezmer influences with a popular film score feel. Decades later the scene still circulates online, quoted by fans who grew up with the film and discovered again through clips and remixes.
