Synopsis
The Gendarme in New York (Le Gendarme à New-York, 1965) is the French comedy starring Louis de Funès that you can watch online on iFILM. A squad of small-town gendarmes from Saint-Tropez gets shipped across the Atlantic to represent France at an international police congress.
Cruchot, Merlot, Fougasse and the rest, led by Sergeant Gerber, board the ocean liner without a word of English between them. America is one big temptation. Worse, Cruchot's daughter Nicole sneaks aboard the same crossing as a stowaway, chasing the man of her dreams. If anyone finds out, her father's career is finished. De Funès, all rubber face and short fuse, owns every scene he's in.
This is the second entry in the hugely popular Gendarme franchise, directed by Jean Girault. It's pure slapstick with no hidden depths, made for anyone who loves vintage French cinema and clean physical comedy. Stream The Gendarme in New York (1965) online on iFILM.
