The Bourgeois Gentleman (1977)
A recording of the Vakhtangov Theatre’s production of the play by Jean-Baptiste Molière. "The Bourgeois Gentleman" is a brilliant, sparkling comedy by the great French literary classic Jean-Baptiste Molière. The attempts of an uneducated, ignorant, and coarse man with a great deal of money to present himself as a refined nobleman are nothing short of laughable.
