Schlager (film)

Schlager (Hebrew: שלאגר), or The Hit, is a 1979 Israeli comedy musical film.

[1] The script and lyrics writer and director was Assi Dayan, the music was written by Svika Pick, and the stars were HaGashash HaHiver (The Trackers) trio.

Compared to other projects of Dayan, Pick or The Trackers, this film did not sell well and did not take central place in the Israeli culture.

After finding out that he can sing opera, Shemesh leaves Heftzibah and climbs onstage at a night club, giving an impressive performance and gaining Dina's heart as well as a job for a pop producer.

Fuchsman, who had another groom in mind for his daughter, and Heftzibah, who has lost his customer, try to sabotage Shemesh's first performance on TV like they sabotaged the opera, but the audience likes the result and all three main characters are turned into stars.
