In this zany satire, escaped mental patient Blaumilch (comedian Bomba Zur) steals a pneumatic drill and tears up a Tel Aviv plaza. As his manmade ditch reaches the sea and fills with water, government and business officials assume it is authorized and become zealously involved. (Ta'alat Blaumilch, Israel 1969, Color, Comedy)
Directed by: Efraim Kishon Starring: Bomba Tzur, Gideon Singer, Mosko Alkalai, Albert Cohen, Oded Teomi, Gabi Amrani, Rivka Michaeli, and Shaike Ophir as the policeman.
