De Funès: "La Grande Vadrouille" (1/2)

Yesterday, I promised I would show you other extracts from Louis De Funès' work. He's known for his part in La Grande Vadrouille, a film which takes place during the Second World War. He's a conductor (Stanislas Lefort) and tries to rehearse with his orchestra, but he's obliged to interrupt because of the German Major Achbach who says there's a British aviator hidden in the Opéra.



Later in the film, Lefort (De Funès) gets involved with the Resistance and has got to escape the Germans. He meets Augustin Bouvet (Bourvil) and they have to reach the Free Zone, travelling through the country. After many adventures, they arrive in a little village where they're supposed to meet other members of the Resistence that will help them…



Who said the the Germans couldn't laugh? Imagine we could do that at school… It'd be great.
