Le gendarme de St. Tropez (1964)

English title: The Gendarme of St. Tropez.

Synopsis: A small town policeman is promoted and assigned to the city of St. Tropez, in the coast of France. There, he surprises everyone with his dilligency and rigor. His daughter's antics, however, threaten to harm his career. Throw in a stolen Rembrandt and confusion sets in.

Appraisal: It is built around simple jokes and and a plot wich provides some action. It's not devoid of good moments, though, particularly in its prologue, and on the whole it's not too hard to see.

Rating: 37
