Louis de Funès and the legacy of the Gendarme film series

The legacy of French comedy icon Louis de Funès and the classic 'Gendarme' film series remains a significant cultural touchstone. Actor Maurice Risch, who was discovered by de Funès, reflects on his career and his role in the saga, where he joined the cast to replace Christian Marquand in later installments such as ‘The Gendarme and the Aliens’.

Czech Television is scheduled to broadcast the 1968 comedy ‘The Gendarme Gets Married’, a film from the beloved series that has been passed down through generations of viewers. The series, which began with ‘The Gendarme of Saint-Tropez’, follows the character Cruchot and has become a staple of comedic cinema.
