Tzanani Family

Mishpachat Tzanani (Tzanani Family) is a 1976 Israeli bourekas comedy written and directed by Boaz Davidson, produced by Menahem Golan and Yoram Globus.

Released 10 December 1976 (~87 minutes).

Yemenite shoe seller Zion Tzanani (Gabi Amrani) rivals Persian neighbor Israel Ben-Naim (Yosef Shiloach) until a missing diamond ring - swallowed by grandson Shimshon - ups the farce.

Theme song by Yigal Bashan and Izhar Cohen became a hit on its own. About 452,000 tickets sold; later a cult classic.
