Your Journey Into the World of Classic Yiddish Film

 

GELEB UN GELAKHT
(Live and Laugh)
Director: Sidney M. Goldin
Writer (inter-act sequences): Max Wilner
This film was released in the U.S. in December 1933.
60 minutes, B & W

 

A married couple from the Yiddish stage argue because the husband has been hired to act as master of ceremonies at an all-Jewish vaudeville show and the wife wants to assist him. At the theater, the wife makes the husband promise to let her participate in the show before she allows him to begin. As the husband introduces the subsequent acts, the wife continually butts in to inquire when she is to go on. Finally the husband allows the wife on the stage, and she introduces an act. However, from the wings, the husband and wife continue their quarrel. The wife introduces another act, and at the end of the show, they think they have done well and close singing a duet.
