The gendarme

The Gendarme series is a series of six French comedy films set in Saint-Tropez, a fashionable resort on the French Riviera. All six films revolve around the main character of Ludovic Cruchot, played by the French actor and comedian Louis de Funès. Cruchot is an over-zealous officer of the French gendarmerie who repeatedly finds himself in the middle of a crisis, with Cruchot and the gendarmes being the best hope to solve it.
