Les Magnifiques

France 2018 | 52 minutes | French | Hebrew, English subtitles

Arriving in France from North Africa with barely a suitcase in hand during the 1950s and 60s, these Sephardic immigrants and refugees became the stars and legends of French show-business: Recording-artist Enrico Macias, comedians Robert Castel & Lucette Sahuquet, impresario Regis Talar, actor, director, producer, and screenwriter Philippe Clair (a/k/a Prosper Bensoussan), and, the youngest of the group, Norbert Saada. Starting from nothing they became known as Les Magnifiques.
