The Policeman (DVD)

In the first of Ephraim Kishon's award-winning five-DVD set to be available individually, famous Israeli actor Shaike Ofir is at his very best as the kindhearted, bumbling policeman Azulai. Officer Azulai will never get promoted-he's always letting thieves go free. He tries to prove his usefulness in a major operation that is, unbeknownst to him, masterminded by an underworld scoundrel. Shaike Ofir's moving performance has earned him a lifelong connection to the beloved character he portrayed. (Ha-Shoter Azulai, Israel 1970, Comedy)
