Paradise Grove is one of the few British Jewish comedies to reach cinemas, although it's taken director Charles Harris seven years to get his debut feature onto the big screen. The movie is set in a North London old people's home and features a stand-out performance by veteran actor Ron Moody, kvetching against the dying of the light.
