CANNON MONTH: The Big Tease (1984)
Ha-Meticha Ha’Gdola AKA The Big Tease: Here Comes Another One is pretty much Candid Camera in Tel Aviv. Made by Yehuda Barkan and Yigal Shilon — Barkan had already made another movie like this, Hayeh Ahaltah Otah — this has a UFO land in the middle of the city, an ATM that speaks English and a woman auditioning for […]
