Britain's What's On Event Guide
Pangbourne Twinning Assoc. French Film Night - 'La Grande Vadrouille'
La Grande Vadrouille (The Great Stroll) (1966)
A film by Gérard Oury.
One of the greatest comic achievements of French cinema and one of the most popular films ever screened in France, this World War II comedy involves the shooting down of a British plane and the subsequent adventures of the parachuted crew to escape the German occupiers, with the help of friendly locals and the resistance.
The film stars our very own Terry-Thomas as one of the airmen (Sir Reginald) and a distinguished French cast, who manage to make the story both exciting and funny at the expense of the Germans who try to capture them.
The cast includes André Bourvil, Louis de Funès, Claudio Brook and Andrea Parisy, with Colette Brosset and Mike Marshall.
The film is still shown on French TV every year, and is held in high regard as a comic masterpiece. It had an alternative title in Britain of ‘Don’t Look Now…We’re Being Shot At!’.
Duration 118 minutes, with English subtitles.
BBFC classification PG (mild language, violence and sex references).
