O Louco, Louco Mundo do Gendarme

the end of series. and the last film of Louis de Funes. nice, predictable, seductive, a new idea who becomes pretext for new adventures, large doses of humor, Saint Tropez atmosphere and a great job of de Funes. few scenes - Karl Marx as lecture of a nun, beautiful troop-ettes and the romantic scene between Germaine and Ludovic are good points of a series who seems be the same but far to be boring. because all is charming - dialogues, gestures, story, confusions. and nostalgia is the perfect package for an easy story, naive and fresh , so far by present but useful for remember to it the basic truths.

The last movie of "Le gendarme de Saint-Tropez" franchise and the last one of the legendary Cruchot, who died the very next year. The movie is consistent with the style of its predecessors and nicely rounds the franchise. In my opinion, only the first one is better.

7,5/10

Officer Ludovic Cruchot's(Louis De Funes) along with his outfit(Maurice Risch, Grosso and the chief, Michael Galabru, though isn't Jean Lefevre) are transferred to new and modern Gendarmerie Nationale with computer included. When appear four Gendarmettes the gendarmes group is revolutionized. Then two Gendarmettes are kidnapped by an issue of secret codes and Cruchot goes into action. He's secretly moving in disguise, dressing as woman.

This agreeable French comedy about the sympathetic gendarmes contains enjoyable humor, brief intrigue, too much fun and lively situations. There's a certain critical to the French customs and especially a banter of French Police called Gendarmerie. Louis De Funes, as always overacting , he puts faces, grimaces, stooges, tongue twister and lots of gesticulation . This is a pretty amusing farce with the master comic Funes in his usual role. Claude Gensac as his habitual wife, she collaborated with Funes in ten films, often acting his character's spouse. Fine local photography and atmospheric musical score with catching leitmotif by Raymond Lefevre. The motion picture is well made by customary director, Jean Girault. Picture is a Funes vehicle, he's a real comic and authentic farceur. If you like Funes' crazy interpretation you'll enjoy this one. This is the last picture from Cruchot series, another films are : The Gendarme and the creatures from outer space; The Gendarme takes off; The Gendarme get married; Gendarme in N.Y. and the classic, The Gendarme of St. Tropez.

The gendarme and the gendarmettes is the sixth and final film in the beloved Gendarme series, and it closes the franchise on a high note. Louis de Funès reprises his role as the bumbling yet lovable Sergeant Cruchot, this time dealing with a new batch of recruits - all women, the "gendarmettes." The premise alone sets the stage for plenty of humorous misunderstandings, clashing personalities, and delightful chaos.

De Funès is once again in top form, delivering a performance that showcases his comedic talents to the fullest. The film is filled with laugh-out-loud moments, from physical comedy to witty dialogue, making it a treat for both longtime fans and newcomers. The interactions between Cruchot and the new recruits are particularly funny, highlighting the generational and gender clashes in a light-hearted way.

The film retains the charm and humor that have made the Gendarme series so beloved. It's the kind of comedy that never gets old, no matter how many times you've seen it. I find myself returning to this film time and again, and it always brings a smile to my face. It's a fitting end to a series that has provided so much joy and laughter over the years.

I give the gendarme and the gendarmettes a 9/10 for its humor, nostalgia, and the fantastic performance of Louis de Funès. It's a wonderful farewell to a character and a series that has become a staple of French comedy.

Well, we have the last film about famous French policemen. We may ask if it will enchant us with something new. Actually yes. Everyone who has seen previous parts and enjoyed them should take a look at this one.

In my opinion, the plot isn't boring. As for humour, you won't be let down. However, I must admit that some of stuff is pretty similar to that seen before. But after all it is a small drawback and of course Louis de Funes did a good job as usual. It is one of the last films with him (or even the last one!).

On the whole, we get a sensible end of the serial. I'm sure you won't be disappointed.
