PLOT Summer 1942. During the Nazi Occupation in France, a Royal Air Force B-17 Bomber is shot down over Paris by the German AAA . The crew, Reginald (Big moustache), Peter Cunningham and Alan MacIntosh, is parachuted over the city. They are hidden by a house painter, Augustin Bouvet, and the grumbling conductor of the Opéra National De Paris , Stanislas LeFort. Involuntarily, they get themselves involved in the manhunt against the aviators, led by the Major Achbach. They have to help them to go back to England with the help of Juliette. COMMENTS In spite of this dark period chosen (the World War II and the Nazi Occupation of France ), the movie is a "springboard" to the funny tandem constituted by De Funès and Bourvil . Louis de Funès, hilarious in a grumbling selfish man, doubtless finds here his best role with Bourvil, more "stupid" and sentimental than ever. We shall remember anthology scenes, as the confusion of the Hotel rooms which makes them both sleep beside Major Achbach and an officer (who are chasing them) or the machine-gunning of Plane s by a Cross-eyed artilleryman.
