English titles: The Troops in New York; The Gendarme in New York
The policemen from The Troops of St. Tropez are chosen to represent France in an international event to be held in New York. The police sergeant's daughter stows away in their ship. In New York, he keeps seeing her and everyone including himsel thinks he is going crazy.
This is a mostly mediocre comedy whose sole reason to exist was to cash in on the success of a previous film, but to be honest it has such a frantic pace and such beautiful cinematography over a variety of interesting locales that watching it is less of a pain than perhaps it should be. One sequence parodying West Side Story is mildly funny though.
Rating: 34
