DESCRIPTION

Oscar nominees Alan Arkin from "Catch 22" and Valerie Perrine from "Lenny" star with academy Award winners Louise Fletcher from "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" and Shelly Winters from "S.O.B." in this moving romantic tale from Nobel Prize laureate Isaac Bashevis Singer.

At the turn of the century in Poland, travelling magician Yasha Mazur attains fame and fortune with his astounding illusions and sleight-of-hand. But Yasha's womanizing and unkept promises soon catch up with him, turning his climb to success into a devastating fall from grace. He finishes up as an eccentric recluse, walled into a living grave. But even here. the indomitable trickster has a final, life-redeeming bit of magic up his sleeve, "The Magician of Lublin" is a passionate drama of the power and danger of dreams.
