The Gendarme Gets Married
Directed by Jean Girault
Produced by Société Nouvelle de Cinématographie, Medusa Produzione
A lighthearted French romantic comedy built on slapstick charm, romantic pursuit, and the comedic chaos of a zealous gendarme falling for a widow.
The Saint-Tropez police launch a major offensive against dangerous drivers. Marechal Cruchot (Louis de Funès) relishes the assignment, which he pursues with a manic zeal. Cruchot is after an offending driver, who turns out to be Josépha (Claude Gensac), the widow of a highly regarded police colonel. When they meet, Cruchot falls instantly in love....
