LÃ©vy and Goliath	comment	LÃ©vy and Goliath (French: LÃ©vy et Goliath) is a 1987 French action comedy film directed by GÃ©rard Oury. Vladimir Cosma composed the soundtrack.The two LÃ©vy brothers couldn't be more different. Moses (Richard Anconina) is strictly observant of Orthodox Judaism, married in the religion, works as a diamond powder dealer in Antwerp and chats with God himself. Albert (Michel Boujenah), who's shunned by pretty much the whole family including Moses because he largely abandoned religious practice, owns a non-kosher cafÃ© in Paris and married a non-Jewish woman.One day in Paris, the courier of Goliath, a garage owner and drug dealing gang leader, slips packs of cocaine in the diamond powder bag of Moses to avoid the police. Moses then ends up hunted down by Goliath's gang and soon requires Albert's help, forcing both brothers to reconcile in order to stand a chance.

LÃ©vy and Goliath / int_1b75022a	comment	The Law Firm of Pun, Pun, and Wordplay: When asked by his friend why he didn't take on a more ambitious career than powder diamond dealer, like studying law and becoming a big name lawyer, Moses answers that his job allows him to intellectually focus on God when he comes back home, and that ending up in a "Stein & Stein & Stein & Stein..." law firm doesn't appeal to him.

After the diamond powder bags/cocaine bags switcheroo happens at the car factory Moses goes to, the drug bags are opened and their content is spread in the factory, and the workers unknowingly sniff it. At the end, Moses showers Goliath with the pack of cocaine he brings him and the final fight erupts.

LÃ©vy and Goliath / int_fcd46998	comment	Red Light District: Poor Moses is chased by Goliath through Pigalle in Paris. Aka the district of hookers, porn theaters, peep shows, sex shops and the like, and he does his best to not look at anything/any girl there per his religious observance, referring to the place as "Sodom". Then God orders Moses to save his own life by going in a No-Tell Motel, and he obeys.
