About this product

Product Information

In Nazi-occupied Poland at the height of World War II, impoverished cafe owner Jakob (Williams) keeps hope and humor alive in the Jewish ghetto by reporting fictitious news bulletins about the Allied forces' advances against the Nazis to his fellow prisoners. Meanwhile, the Germans learn of the mythical radio and begin a search for the resistance hero who dares operate it. A remake of the 1974 German film, JAKOB, DER LUGNER.

  • A Good Robin Williams film.

    While a work of fiction set during a dark time in world history I found the film and story engaging and yet a realistic( slightly tongue in cheek ) commentary of human behavior, while I am not exactly a huge fan of Robin Williams body of work I found this film one of his best works.

  • Jakob the Liar—story of Jews in concentration camp. To keep hope alive, Jakob concocts stories the Allies are close by.

    Recording is fine. Don’t remember if the movie stopped momentarily, but it played fine.

  • I like Robin Williams, but skip this.

    The DVD was in good condition, but the film is average at best, and there is nothing I can do about that.

  • Good WW2 movie

    What a great movie for Robin Williams to star in. He does a great job like usual and the supporting cast is nothing short of wonderful. A nicely paced movie that takes the time to develop the characters without all the special effects that are so prevalent in so many films today. Bring out the popcorn and put your feet up on the couch for this one.
