About Le Gendarme de Saint-Tropez
The ambitious police officer Cruchot is transferred to St. Tropez. He's struggling with crimes such as persistent nude swimming, but even more with his teenage daughter, who's trying to impress her rich friends by telling them her father was a millionaire and owned a yacht in the harbor.
Directed by Jean Girault, Le Gendarme de Saint-Tropez leans on a strong ensemble — Louis de Funès, Geneviève Grad, Michel Galabru — 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 1964.
