And if I'm talking about a film that marked the beginning of a long saga of movies cults in the 1960s, it tells you something? But yes, of course, this is the Gendarme of St. Tropez! This saga, like all other films of Louis de Funes also part of my personal film culture, they are my true pillars of my passion for cinema! These films shot there are more than forty years have not aged a day, unlike other films of this era. Firstly, because they are popular movies with actors that everyone liked. The greatest comedian of French cinema of the time there is for something, since he will be the main entry of the famous series. Then, the sets are favorable to the popularity of the product. Saint-Tropez, with its terraces Ricards, nudist beaches with its flat land with its farmers to the tractors, his bowling, his youth dance the jerk, its roadblocks outside the city are old port with his yacht ... Short a period of French culture, which is much appreciated in terms of cinematography at the time! I willingly place the Constable at first in the ranking of my favorite French films ...
So in 1964, Jean Girault met a band of actors, some of which are now famous thanks to this series. The screenplay and dialogues are signed Vilfrid Jacques, who wrote most of the films Girault (La Soupe aux Choux in particular). Found in this film Louis de Funès, Geneviève Grad play Nicole, the daughter of Cruchot, Michel Galabru, which plays the role of Adjutant Gerber. Then in a second time, Jean Lefebvre, Christian Marin, Guy Grosso, Michel Modo, Claude Pieplu, Maria Pachomius, Patrice Laffont, Fernand Sardou, have consolidated the rest of the cast. The script, always trendy and prodigious, makes this movie something irreplaceable and worship!
After several years of loyal service in a remote corner of Provence, Staff Sergeant Cruchot was posted in the town of Saint-Tropez. From his first hours of work on the floor Saint Tropez, Cruchot enforce the order, and he does not forget that''the gendarme to the nation, the dog is a shepherd to the flock: it often barking sometimes biting but still be feared. You are the branches, trunk and I am the only one thing counts: that the harvest be kind and that the cows are well guarded.'' The first days will be rather quiet. Parts of balls at two hundred meters from the beach, napping at will, hunting nudist ... until a powerful American stopped his boat in port. Nicole pretends to youth of the town for this American girl. And then goes sequenced a series of complicated stories between a convertible, a Rembrandt, a party in a villa, so basically you put the dishes in the great ...!
What I love about this film is its rustic side St Tropez, and the atmosphere in this film. For a movie of the summer holidays, there is no better ...
