Linbeymusol Wonderful character development!

Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

elvircorhodzic THE TROOPS IN NEW YORK is a comedy film, which is dovetailed between a petty bourgeois problem, charming crime and satirical idiocy. This is the first sequel of sympathetic gendarmes from Saint-Tropez.The gendarmes of St. Tropez are invited to New York City to a law enforcement conference. They are supposed to travel alone without spouses or children. The gendarmes are seriously preparing for the conference and the challenges that await them there. However, Cruchot's daughter Nicole wants to go to New York as it may be her only chance. He forbids her to go because disobeying an order may hurt his career. Nicole is a rebellious beauty who does not listen his father just yet .... therefore an adventure in New York can begin...An abundance of a cheap humor is seasoned with parodic scenes, which should guarantee a good time. However, I think that, hilarious problems with the language barrier, a rebellious daughter and a rivalry with an opposing camp are not sufficient to demonstrate the petty-bourgeois confusion in a big city. Simply, it lacks the charm of the gendarme, which is closely associated with the scenery of Saint-Tropez. Extremely comic plots can not reach a culmination.Louis de Funès as Ludovic Cruchot is again consistent with his energetic performances. Michel Galabru as warrant officer Jérôme Gerber gets more space next to Cruchot, and still, he is subordinate in comic pursuit of the rebellious Nicole. Geneviève Grad as Nicole Cruchot is witty beauty, who still can not cope with hilarious appearances of her patriarchal father. Other characters are quite closed. That's wrong.

leplatypus well, usually, it's American movies that happens in France or french ones that are remake over there. So to have a french movie in locations in America it's very unique (the other ones i know would be Leon, Nous York). honestly at this year, 1965, it's like all the french have made the trip too and discovered, on a big screen, as Fufu and his pals, the swinging 60s in America: tall buildings, huge cars, color TV, etc... The historical value is truly high because they even do the trip by steamboat and as it's the real France, nothing can match the authenticity of the scenes! As for the plot, the story is funny with Fufu having again visions and the french manners... You can see that Fufu was a comedy genius as he manages to be also funny without any lines, just by body movements like the future Mr Bean... I rate it 10 because it's a classic of french cinema for me but i admit that the last reel is a bit empty and long when it comes to do the trip back to Saint Tropez...

ma-cortes This second sequel deals about the Sergeant Marechal Ludovic Cruchot(Louis De Funes),Lieutenant chief adjutant Jerome(Michael Galabru) and Marichal remaining(Jean Lefevre,Grosso,Modo,Christian Marin)are appointed for an International Congress of Gendarmerie in N.Y. They aboard a cruise and his festive daughter Nicole(Genevieve Grad) as stowaway. Nicole has a little too much at the Big Apple and the Gendarmes suffer a shaky ground.There she knows an Italian Carabinieri and a journalist(Alan Scott).One of the best of Ludovic Cruchot series packs simple humor, slapdash,rip-roaring and lots of fun. Louis De Funes , as always steals the show, he stooges, dances, makes acrobatics and pulls faces and grimaces.Marvelous Genieveve Grad as feisty and likable daughter.The highlights are a brilliant and frenetic choreography about a dancing between Jets and Sharks bands, similarly to West Side Story and Cruchot in middle of the gangs; plus Ludovic playing baseball as pitcher and catcher; besides appears the customary nun driving in N.Y. Known soundtrack leitmotif by Raymond Lefevre used as musical background when the Gendarmes are parading along the city and habitual final march in Saint Tropez. The motion picture is lively filmed by series' director , Jean Girault and based on the characters created by Richard Balducci. It's followed by various sequels: Gendarme get married, Gendarme in balade, Gendarmes and the creatures of outer space and Gendarme and the Gendarmettes. If you like Funes' crazy acting, you'll enjoy this one because he 's overacting with amount mimic gesticulation. The movie is a Funes recital, it's a farce by the master comic to be liked for his fans.

steve-667 The gendarme-series are all my favourites. This story is taking place in New York where there's is hold an international police-conference. Cruchot is searching for his daughter, who is matched up by a tabloidreporter with an Italian policeman. Hilarious are the chases in the cab and at a building construction. A tribute to the Westside story is the scene at the playground, where Cruchot gets involved with some streetgangs. Funes is as always the eyecatcher, but his daughter played by the lovely Genieviève Grad is also very funny. A typical European sixties comedy, with some Hollywood elements. 4 out of 5.
