Director Uri Zohar’s hit comedy, based on The Iterations of Moishe Air-Condition, a 1955 special that was part of the Northern Command Troupe’s (‘lehakat pikud tzafon’) inaugural variety show which also starred Ya’ackov Bodo in the titular role of Moishe, drew nearly half a million viewers to cinemas when it first opened.
Moishe Air-Condition is an obsessively frugal, penny-pinching soldier. His frugalness has been getting under his commanders’ skin, which is why Moishe finds himself endlessly transferred from one role to the next. However, completely by chance and utterly unbeknownst to him, this tedious personality trait helps him thwart a foreign agent’s (Shaike Ophir) sinister plot.
The film was shot by David Gurfinkel, and scored by Yitzhak (‘Ziko’) Graziani. Today, Moishe Air-Condition is mostly remembered for the appearance of cult comedy trio, The Pale Tracker (‘HaGasash HaHiver’) in the film, where they perform several musical numbers including the songs ‘Uzi, Uzi’, and ‘What’s He Doing to Her’ (‘ma hu ose la’).
