The Gendarme Gets Married

it is the word who defines each part of series. and nothing surprising. because the genius of Louis de Funes has great support of the best partners. France Rumilly is the memorable example as the eccentric nun saving the poor Cruchot. Claude Gensac is the perfect lady colonel and her charm , ambition and noble feelings for Cruchot reminds the flavor of French Medieval literature about the love . and, sure, Michel Galabru who is just perfect as the brave Gerber. but, out of any doubt, the lead character is Saint Tropez. not surprising.

I started rewatching all the "Gendarme" movies, classic comedies from when I was young and you didn't have much to chose from. People were looking forward to watch another movie with Louis de Funès, still by far the greatest French comedian ever. The man with a thousand faces, his gimmicks alone are worth the watch. Le Gendarme de St-Tropez, the first one was at this point the best one, followed up by a rather disappointing Le Gendarme à New York, to now be followed by Le Gendarme Se Marie which is slightly better. Claude Gensac makes her first appearance in the Gendarme movies. She will be in many other movies with Louis de Funès in the future. Michel Galabru is also a great watch, never failing to entertain. The movie isn't perfect but there are enough moments were I had the giggles, mostly when Galabru and/or de Funès are involved. In 1968 everybody from France and Belgium watched this movie, it's a classic French comedy everybody remembers.

Le gendarme se marie, also known as the gendarme gets married, is the third installment in the Gendarme series, and it's just as entertaining as its predecessors. This time, we see Sergeant Cruchot, played by the inimitable Louis de Funès, navigating the complexities of romance while still trying to maintain order in the charming town of Saint-Tropez.

De Funès is once again in his element, blending slapstick humor with sharp wit and impeccable timing. The comedic situations are brilliantly executed, whether it's Cruchot's awkward attempts at courtship or the misunderstandings that arise from his interactions with his fellow gendarmes. The film is filled with funny and memorable moments that make it a true delight to watch.

The storyline is engaging, the characters are lovable, and the humor is consistent throughout. It's a perfect example of why Louis de Funès is considered one of the greatest comedic actors of his time. I give de gendarme op vrijersvoeten a 9/10 for its humor, charm, and the fantastic performance by de Funès.

The third in a series of films about the gendarmes of Saint Tropez is also failing to keep up with the first, but it is better than the second and a decent choice when you want to rest your brain. The same team continues in the same manner and if you do not expect too much you will not be disappointed. I liked the comparison that I found in one of the reviews for this film, where the crazy nun, who in every movie appears at the right time to give a lift to Cruchot, is compared to Sandra Bullock in "Speed".

6,5/10

The third installment in the Gendarme series.Cruchot is a widower and he falls in love with a wealthy widow ,Josepha (Claude Gensac).But his daughter is not prepared to accept it and she first refuses this new "mother" .But do not panic,things will turn out fine,under Saint Tropez's luminous blue sky.

The regular guests are all here .Cruchot's superior (Michel Galabru)is making it rough all over.Cruchot's colleagues are all present too.And let's not forget the inevitable Deux-Chevaux of the nun who appears in every episode of the saga. Sandra Bullock in "speed" a quarter of century before it happened.
