Metzitzim (Hebrew: מציצים, English: '''Peeping Toms''') is a 1972 Israeli comedy film that has become a cult film. It was entered into the 23rd Berlin International Film Festival.[1]
The film was directed by Uri Zohar, who was the co-writer for the screenplay, and starred Arik Einstein and Zohar himself. The cinematographer was Adam Greenberg.
In 2014, on season two of the show Orly and Guy Come Back With an Answer (אורלי וגיא חוזרים עם תשובה), suspicions were raised that during the production of the movie there had been abuses and sexual harassment against actresses. In addition, Mona Zilberstein's cousin claimed that the rape scene (after Gutte, Uri Zohar, washed Mona and took her to bed) was in fact a rape. This and other sexual harassment in her life led her to use drugs until her death from an overdose.[2]
