Gramps Is in the Resistance (French: Papy fait de la résistance) is a 1983 French comedy film directed by Jean-Marie Poiré. The cast includes Christian Clavier, Michel Galabru, Roland Giraud, Jean Carmet, Gérard Jugnot, Martin Lamotte, Michel Blanc, Dominique Lavanant, Jacqueline Maillan, Jacques Villeret, Thierry Lhermitte among many others. It is based off the 1981 stage play of the same name by the Splendid' troupe (of which many actors played in the film following their previous hits, the French Fried Vacation series and Santa Claus Is a Stinker).The story is set in Paris during the German occupation of France following the French defeat of 1940. A family of musical virtuosi, the Bourdelles, are French patriots and support the Resistance, refusing to play music for the Germans even if it harms their careers. In 1943, their mansion is commandeered to accommodate German general Spontz. Life together is made no easier when the family secretly has to care about a downed British pilot, and by the fact that one of the family is none other than the famous "Super-Resistant".

Unreliable Narrator
 Gramps Is in the Resistance / int_1869b4b1
comment
Unreliable Narrator: The World War II part of the movie turns out to be... a movie in a movie, as revealed at the end. The various In-Universe real people the In-Universe World War II movie is about discuss it in the TV debate and thoroughly disagree about the details depicted in it, including the utter nonsense that is Adolf Hitler's nonexistent half-brother. It turns out Adolfo Ramirez did not die run over by a truck and fled to Bolivia instead, and Guy-Hubert's Camp Straight manners turn out to be real and not an act (in addition to his Resistance Code Name not being "Super-Resistant" but the ridiculous "Sparadrap" instead).

Gentleman Thief: Super-Resistant takes his inspiration from the Gentleman Thief (such as Arsène Lupin) rather than American superheroes — including the tuxedo, top hat, Domino Mask and cape — to fight the Germans in Nazi-occupied France, mostly by ridiculing them.

Patriotic Fervor
 Gramps Is in the Resistance / int_23be181a
comment
Patriotic Fervor: The Bourdelles are French patriots and won't take any action that goes against that sentiment (such as playing music for the Germans). They sing the French national anthem, "La Marseillaise", in the basement to annoy the Germans who occupy their mansion. From his window, Gramps mocks the German soldiers who confiscate his house when they come in as they destroy the stone bust of Ludwig van Beethoven (a music composer from their own country) when parking a truck. Super-Resistant plays pranks on German officers to humiliate them in a French patriotic manner, when he doesn't pull off genuine attacks with guns and explosives. And he doesn't really like the British, per the old French-British rivalry.

To the Batpole!: After leaving the Bourdelle house through a rotating wall, Guy-Hubert changes into his Super-Resistant costume by going through an elaborate underground passage, which involves riding on a pulled cart with his cape dramatically flying behind him. Then he exits inside a medieval sculptures museum to add to the appropriate Gothic feel. This ends up being not entirely discreet, though, since he gets spotted by a guardian who calls the cops.

La Résistance
 Gramps Is in the Resistance / int_34dd5f3
comment
La Résistance: André Bourdelle leads a Resistance network under the alias "Capitaine Raymond" until his accidental death. His son Guy-Hubert, while posing as a collaborator, is actually in the Resistance under the alias "Super-Resistant". Michel Taupin might have the patriotic motivation but he does actions of resistance mostly to follow the orders of/impress his fiancée Bernadette. The latter goal fails thoroughly, because in the end she's just not interested in him.

Who proves rather foul-tempered, scratching his own master when introduced; Spontz blames it on the cat being full of himself ever since the Führer gave him the Iron Cross. Later, Gustav also attacks Michel Taupin while he's trying to eavesdrop on Spontz.

All Germans Are Nazis: Subverted. The character in the film who's the most won over by Nazi ideals is clearly the French Adolfo Ramirez, as the textbook and zealous example of Les Collaborateurs. The Germans meanwhile cover all the range between the average caricature of loud soldier who shouts gibberish and loudly clicks heels and the Cultured Warrior / Officer and a Gentleman who could as well come from any war involving Germany in the past 75 years by the film's era.

Establishing Character Moment
 Gramps Is in the Resistance / int_7febc23b
comment
Establishing Character Moment: Adolfo Ramirez is the first character to be introduced in the film, happily whistling while he's painting white swastikas on a theatre's outside program sign, visibly happy of being part of Les Collaborateurs. The narrator even states that "some people accommodate very well [to the Occupation]" after talking about the woes of the German occupation. Adolfo is also very much pro-Maréchal Philippe Pétain, the "Great Germany" and "das Grosse Europe". In the same scene, the Bourdelles verbally talk Adolfo down, openly voice out their pro-Charles de Gaulle and pro-Resistance sentiments, and kick Adolfo's bucket of white paint on his feet for good measure.

Rewarded as a Traitor Deserves
 Gramps Is in the Resistance / int_8288929a
comment
Rewarded as a Traitor Deserves: General Spontz states that he can't stand traitors, and as such he only has contempt for former janitor turned Gestapo collaborator Adolfo Ramirez, despite the latter (loudly) claiming they're on the same side. Especially since he first meets him harassing the Bourdelles for petty revenge and stealing their food rations. When Spontz catches Ramirez snooping around in his own apartment, he almost drowns him in a sink and burns his neck with a smoothing iron.

Grenade Hot Potato: André's death is caused by him mishandling a Mk II grenade. While he's presented with a box of them in his car, he inadvertently removes the pin, then has the car stopped and throws it away... directly into the tennis racket of a German officer who was playing nearby, who then sends it back to the car. Then BOOM!

Secondary Character Title
 Gramps Is in the Resistance / int_a2e887be
comment
Secondary Character Title: Jean-Robert Bourdelle is the "Gramps" of the title, but he's overall a secondary character and first appears rather late in comparison with the others. The movie focuses much more on Michel Taupin, Super-Resistant, Bernadette Bourdelle or even General Spontz and Adolfo Ramirez.

Double-Meaning Title: A double meaning that is lost with the English title; at face value the French title can be indeed what it's translated to, but a colloquial meaning would be closer to "Gramps is being difficult".

Parting-Words Regret: While Nazis are about to execute hostages, resistant Jacques Frémontel, among them, is ready. His only regret is his last exchange with Mireille, the head of his resistance network, that was an argument. Thus, they'll stay angry at each other while Jacques wanted to patch things up.

Soundtrack Dissonance
 Gramps Is in the Resistance / int_abad35b4
comment
Soundtrack Dissonance: The movie uses quite dramatic music at times to reinforce the contrast with its comedic content: The opening credits theme is more evocative of a serious thriller than a comedy. The theme used when Super-Resistant is Roofhopping is from the First Symphony of Gustav Mahler. The ending credit song "Libertas" is quite grim and bombastic, sounding like an opera piece, and would fit more with a serious World War II film.

It's a Costume Party, I Swear!: When the Bourdelles park near the Le Marquis club where German officers are having a party with scantily clad or naked girls, Michel thinks it's a costumed party, and it's further fueled by Héléna mistaking the Gentleman Thief-dressed "Super-Resistant" for a costumed guest. Not having any costume at hand, Michel has the bright idea to simply draw a Hitler mustache on his face...

Vehicular Turnabout: A French-made Somua S35 tank with German markings is used as an improvised mobile armored door to block the entrance to the mansion where Ludwig von Apfelstrudel goes to party. Germans made ample use of the hundreds of French vehicles they captured or confiscated in 1940, such as this very type of battle tank.

Dude, Where's My Respect?: As the most zealous of Les Collaborateurs around and a French Gestapo agent, Adolfo Ramirez expects the Germans to at least be friendly to him. They're not, because they either don't respect slimy traitors to their country like him or just because he's a loud, obnoxious and useless idiot who stands in the way or causes chaos. Or both.
