Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever

YouHeart I gave it a 7.5 out of 10

Phillida Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

Staci Frederick Blistering performances.

Smoreni Zmaj When I was a kid, local television mercilessly reprized "Le gendarme de Saint-Tropez". I saw all six films countless times and enjoyed them every time. Over time, I completely forgot about them, until recently, when without special reason they came to my mind and I simply had to see them again as soon as possible. I just finished the first film from 1964 and, risking to sound stupid, I'm so happy. It brought me back to childhood and cheered me up with its casual and cultured humor, without going over the top and vulgarity typical of modern comedy. The story is intelligent and witty, humor natural and cheerful, picture of Louis de Funes should be put in a dictionary next to the word "fun", and scenes of nudists hunt, as well as tracks "La Marche des Gendarmes" and "Douliou Douliou Saint-Tropez", remain forever etched in memory, and it is enough only to remember them to make you smile. If you didn't see this... or better, if you do not know this movie by heart, you have no idea how much you miss.<3/10

ma-cortes This is a pretty amusing entry on Marechal Luudovic Cruchot(Louis De Funes)Gendarmes stories. Starts with a prologue in black and white where Cruchot is a corporal at a village .He's suddenly been promoted to sergeant in Sainz Tropez and undertakes the changeling. There he goes along with his beautiful daughter Nicole (Genevieve Grad).At the Nationale Gendarmerie finds four Marechals(Jean Lefevre,Michael Modo,Grosso) and chef adjutant Jerome(Michael Galabru).Meanwhile a mobs have robbed a Rembrant painting titled the 'girl of the tulip' and the Gendarmes must to find it. Besides happen several adventures, with highlights such as the chase of nudists whom Cruchot ask them documentation, when Lucien(Jean Lefevre)is obligated to nude himself for close nudists, and the ordinary nun driving rapidly in the Citroen, among others.This agreeable French comedy about the sympathetic Gendarmes contains slapstick,slapdash, simple humor and lots of entertainment and fun . Louis De Funes, as usual, steals the show, the puts paces, grimace,and overacting by means of excessive mimic gesticulation. Marvelous, wonderful Genevieve Grad as festive daughter, she starred various sword and sandals movies.It's a co-production French-Italian , for that reason appears Gabriele Tinti as a gangster, he's customary actor of co-productions during the 60 and 70s. However doesn't appear Claude Gensac who collaborated five movies as Funes'spouse, because in the next installment 'Gendarme get married' she'll become into wife. Glimmer local cinematography in luminous sun under Saint Tropez'blue sky. Enjoyable musical score by Raymond Lefevre including musical background leitmotif and catching disco song titled, of course, St Tropez. Habitual final parade with Cruchot greeted like a hero. If you like Funes' overacting, you'll enjoy this one. The flick is lively written and amusingly directed by Jean Girault, who followed film-making the series: Gendarmes and creatures of outer space,Gendarme in balade, Gendarme at New York, and Gendarme and the Gendarmettes.

Bogdan Filatov It is a wonderful comedy, lively, vivid and energetic, one cannot stop laughing all the time. Louis de Funes is at his best again, acting perfectly the strict but good-natured policeman and the plot is complex enough to capture the attention. According to me, this film is a model for a comedy.The daughter of the policeman is very sweet and is a typical representative of young generation,overcoming the conservatism of the old generation.The music of the film is also wonderful, representing the typical atmosphere of its time and contributes much to the joyful spirit of the film.I also liked very much the idea the film starting in black and white and later becoming colourful.As a whole extremely witty and lively film, typical for the French character, which makes you not only smile but laugh sincerely.

erwan_ticheler After seeing "La Grande Vadrouille" almost every year(I have a french mother and every time we go to France we see this movie) and loving it, I thought that this movie could be as funny as that one. BIG MISTAKE! This movie sucks big time for about an hour and then goes into an unsatisfying story.The first hour is filled with very bad sequences like the nudist beach-scene.The last half an hour has got some funny moments,highlighted with the scene in the deux-cheveaux with the sister.The final scene makes no sense at all,because we see De Funes in 2 different clothings for no good reason,this was very confusing and if it was ment to be funny it didn't work. A lot of sequels were made of this movie,which makes it even scarier to think about those pictures!Shame for Louis de Funes,I think I will watch "La Grande Vadrouille" again. 2/10
