Films with the wonderful French actor Louis de Funes invariably enjoy the love of the viewer. The manner and presentation of the great comedian has always been a component of the success of the picture. Therefore, many works with his participation have become classics of the world comedy genre. The film “The Gendarme and Aliens” also belongs to this category. He became the fifth in a series of comedy stories about the adventures of law enforcement from Saint-Tropez.
About the director of the picture
Jean Giraud (05/09/1924 - 07/20/1982) - French director and screenwriter, famous for his comedies with the participation of Louis de Funes. This creative tandem released thirteen paintings. Including a series of six films about the adventures of the gendarmes from Saint-Tropez. The director really liked the creative composition selected for this work. Therefore, actors playing even secondary roles did not change much. “The Gendarme and Aliens” was already the fifth film of the comedy series, and the changes made did not escape the watchful gaze of the viewer. The characters Fugas and Merlot disappeared, and Maria Moban plays instead of Claude Zhansak instead of Claude Zhansak. By a strange coincidence, the final film of the series “The Gendarme and Gendarmes” was the last work for both Jean Giraud and Louis de Funes.
Gendarme Cruchot
The protagonist of the comedy series about the adventures of the gendarmes from Saint-Tropez, it would seem, has survived a lot. Widowed, Mr. Kryusho is forced to combine the education of his daughter Nicole, who gives him a lot of trouble, and a new appointment. How he copes with this, the viewer has the opportunity to see in the paintings “The Gendarme of Saint-Tropez” and “The Gendarme in New York”. Then, in a sports car, a love named Joseph breaks into the measured life of the protagonist. About what Kryusho was worth the process of establishing relations between daughter and beloved woman, tells the film "The Gendarme will marry."
An unpleasant surprise awaited Sergeant Kryusho and his co-workers in the painting “The Gendarme for a Walk”. They decided to send them to retirement, but it turned out that replacing the valiant lawyers was not so simple. Only they can solve the problems that the case throws up. Everything was just fine, the city honors its heroes, but again to attack. About her speech in the film "The Gendarme and Aliens." Louis de Funes and his hero must now defend the safety of not only Saint-Tropez. The life of all people on planet Earth now depends on the actions of fearless gendarmes.
Sergeant Gerber
Life throws surprises to everyone. The city of Saint-Tropez and its section of the gendarmerie were also lucky. By the will of fate, a gendarme with indefatigable energy named Kryusho received distribution to the service in it. The long-suffering chief of this character was destined to become Sergeant Gerber, whose role was played by Michel Galabru. In whatever troubles Kryusho was drawing him ... Only an examination for the position of the head of the site was worth what! Gerber and Cruchot had to go through a lot together. They quarreled and reconciled, competed and collaborated, but they met such an enemy for the first time. Unlike their heroes, Louis de Funes and Michel Galabru did not compete and maintained good relations as good comrades and professional actors.
Gendarme and Aliens: Summary
Evil does not sleep, and the fearless detachment of gendarmes, led by Sergeant Cruchet, hurries to save the inhabitants of the city of Saint-Tropez from it. However, everything is not so simple. This time, the glorious defenders of the order have to calm down not ordinary hooligans. The task is much more complicated. After all, their opponents are of extraterrestrial origin. The enemy is cunning and treacherous, his plans are large-scale - the colonization of planet Earth. They calculated the place and time of the landing. And alien clones have the appearance and habits of earthlings. The capture and substitution should have gone unnoticed, but the vigilant sergeant Kryusho and his detachment violated the aliens' plans, despite the fact that the enemy was trying in every possible way to confuse the brave defenders of order, creating copies of the leadership and colleagues.
Fearless heroes fight extraterrestrial evil in a manner peculiar to them. Upon learning that aliens changing their appearance rust from the water, Kryusho and his team staged a real werewolf hunt. Pouring water over the inhabitants of Saint-Tropez in order to expose the alien invaders create a lot of comic moments in the film “The Gendarme and Aliens”. Louis de Funes and his character sergeant Cruchot, of course, are the center of all these events. The fantastic plot, unexpectedly presented in the manner of comedy, does not disappoint the viewer. The film was shot as a parody of the American thriller "The Invasion of Body Abductors." Other characters and the actors who played them deserve no less attention.
