About Moon Over Parador
Underappreciated actor Jack Noah is on location in Parador at the time the dictator dies. The dictator's right-hand man makes Jack an offer he cannot refuse... to play the dictator. Jack's acting skills fool the masses but not close friends and employees of the dictator.
Directed by Paul Mazursky, Moon Over Parador leans on a strong ensemble — Richard Dreyfuss, Raúl Juliá, Sonia Braga — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1988.
