Additional Information

Ephraim Kishon

Franz Kishont (Kishon) immigrated to Israel in May 1949, not knowing a single word of Hebrew. Shortly after, he became the greatest Israeli satirist and the most successful Israeli author (in terms of book sales). In the mid-1960s, he decided to enter the world of cinema and adapt his texts into films. Overall, Kishon created five films. Four of them: "Sallah Shabati" (1964), "Ervinka" (1967), "Blaumilch Canal" (1969), and "The Policeman" (1971), are part of the pantheon of Israeli cinema and achieved tremendous success. His fifth film, "The Fox in the Chicken Coop" (1978), was a dismal failure, leading Kishon to leave the film industry and shortly thereafter, also leave Israel.
