About The Gendarme and the Gendarmettes
Cruchot's police office moves into a new building. They do not only get high tech equipment, but also four young female police officers to educate. All of them scramble to work with them -- and cause pure chaos while being distracted by the fine ladies. Then they get into real trouble when one after the other of their female colleagues is kidnapped.
Directed by Tony Aboyantz, Jean Girault, The Gendarme and the Gendarmettes leans on a strong ensemble — Louis de Funès, Michel Galabru, Maurice Risch — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1982.
