A SUCCESS SERIES
What is the most photographed place in Saint-Tropez? The Gendarme became popular with the epic “The Gendarmerie”. Screenwriter Richard Balducci came to mind in the early 1960s after he complained about camera theft to an incompetent soldier who had barely woken up from his slumber. The six films garnered 35 million viewers.
A LEGENDARY COUPLE
There is love at first sight between Sergeant Major Cruchot and widow Josépha. As soon as they rub against each other, they get electric shocks. This is the starting point for the gendarme’s marriage. Claude Gensac took over the role of the bride-to-be, Louis de Funès nicknamed her the “lucky talisman”, they formed an on-screen couple seven times. And it was Jeanne de Funès who suggested her name to her husband.
YOUR PAPER PLEASE!
“Pompidou, to the hole!” This is what the actors heard during the shoot, which took place on May 68. Still, there was a good mood there. Guy Grosso (Tricard) even did an ID check at the request of the two riders in kepi. Apart from that – a wanted driver for two years – drove him at 130 km / h. More fear than harm.
Gendarme is getting married: Friday, August 5th at 21:10 on the M6
