During World War II, two French civilians and a downed British Bomber Crew set out from Paris to cross the demarcation line between Nazi-occupied Northern France and the South. From there they will be able to to escape to England. First, they must avoid German troops – and the consequences of their own blunders.
This movie (featuring Bourvil, Louis de Funes and our own Terry Thomas) was seen by 17 million people in France, a box-office record in that country only surpassed in 1997.
‘Arguably one of the funniest French films ever made.’
‘No boring bits – just nearly 2 hours of top comedy.’
