Margo Sheli

An old story set in a new place, this Israeli-made romance deals with the plight of Dr. Davido (Avner Hizkiyahu), a good hearted professor, and Margo (Levana Finkelstein), a naive working girl. They meet when Davido's marriage to indolent woman has reached the breaking point. Since his wife refuses to grant him a divorce, Davido leaves to spend several idyllic days together with Margo in a Jerusalem hotel, with his meddlesome in-laws trying to break them up. The bland situation is given some flavor by the interesting background of Israeli life in the 60s. Released in the U.S. in 1971 as MARGO.
