Dreyfuss stars as Jack Noah, who bares a striking resemblance to a dictator, Alphonse Simms. After filming a movie in the foreign country, Jack finds out from the leader's advisor (Raul Julia) that Alphonse has suddenly died. Instead of letting the public know, he asks Jack to play Alphonse. Has anyone ever said you look like a famous political figure?

Moon Over Parador was adapted from an early movie called The Magnificent Fraud (1939). When I saw the movie, I kept thinking about another with a very similar plot called Dave (1993). Have you seen either one of the films?
