Jacob, The Liar
Jacob the Liar (German: Jakob der Lügner) is a 1975 East German-Czechoslovakian Holocaust film directed by Frank Beyer and based on the eponymous novel by Jurek Becker. It starred Vlastimil Brodský in the title role.
Work on the picture began in 1965, but production was halted in summer 1966. Becker, who had originally planned Jacob the Liar as a screenplay, decided to make it a novel instead. In 1972, after the book garnered considerable success, work on the picture resumed.
