I've just watched this again as the DVD is now available in France, I had no idea it had been subtitled in English as the version I've seen just has the original French - if you can watch it without subtitles to appreciate the original French humour it's worth it. I think one of the funniest scenes is when the loud over-the-top older Jewish lady meets LDF in his disguise as Rabbi Jacob at the airport & they talk about different types of fur coats in crazy accents & with the maddest wordplay ever I can't imagine how this was translated into English (especially as I'm a translator myself!). The film is totally ridiculous and combines wit with lots of visual humour, wordplay, the whole lot. As for the dance my 8 year old daughter does an excellent version of it! Louis de Funès - RIP. The world is definitely darker without him. I'm British and to my knowledge this film, and none of LDF's films are known in Britain which is a great pity, if anyone knows otherwise please put me right!
