La Grande Vadrouille ("The Great Stroll"; UK release title: Don't Look Now... We're Being Shot At!; international title: The Big Runaround) is a 1966 French war comedy directed by Gérard Oury, reuniting French comedy superstars Bourvil and Louis de Funès after The Sucker.Summer 1942. Over German-occupied France, a Royal Air Force B17 Flying Fortress becomes lost after a mission and is shot down over Paris by German Flak. The crew, Sir Reginald Brook (Terry-Thomas), Peter Cunningham and Alan MacIntosh, parachutes out over the city, where they run into and are hidden by a house painter, Augustin Bouvet (Bourvil), and the grumbling conductor of the Opéra National de Paris, Stanislas Lefort (Louis de Funès).Involuntarily, Lefort and Bouvet get themselves tangled up in the manhunt against the aviators led by Wehrmacht Major Achbach as the airmen try to reach the Free Zone with the help of Résistance fighters and sympathizers. | |

Dressing as the Enemy | |
La Grande Vadrouille / int_18dd6739 | comment |
Dressing as the Enemy: Frequently used by the protagonists to walk around unnoticed by the German occupiers. Augustin and Big Moustache dress up as German officers to pick up MacIntosh at the opera. Augustin and Stanislas dress up as German soldiers to cross the demarcation line, guided by dogs. In the Kommandantur, the three British pilots knock German soldiers out to steal their uniforms and escape discreetly. | |

Mugged for Disguise: The heroes set a trap on an evening Paris street. MacIntosh, dressed as a woman, strolls next to an open manhole, passers-by look at "her" and fall into the hole, where they are beaten and undressed. Bonus points for the speed of undressing and sorting the clothes and footwear. Minor subversion in the next scene: next morning Lefort realizes that he took too small shoes and forces Bouvet to give him his. In the Kommandantur, the three British pilots knock German soldiers out to steal their uniforms and escape discreetly. | |

La Résistance: A network of French people benevolently help the protagonists escape the Germans, which was considered as "passive resistance" and highly punishable back then. A more straight-up group of resistants try to blow up the opera room once it will be full of German officers. | |

Funny Foreigner: The Brits. One of them sports a very large moustache that is described as typically English. They have poor command of French and a funny accent. There is even a scene where Stanislas imitates their way of talking. Those Wacky Nazis are quite funny too. Their poor command of French is played for laughs as well (they do not understand some French expressions, like être à cheval which means "to be a stickler"). They are Neat Freak. They have funny customs (like singing and dancing astride on a chair). They respect the authority, even if said authority is a candy German officer on the top of a cake. | |

Undercover as Lovers: Augustin and Juliette pretend twice to be husband and wife, in order not to get caught by the Germans: firstly in her flat, when the Germans demand to search it; secondly in the hotel, when Augustin and Stanislas arrive in the hotel late at night.

Comically Cross-Eyed: One of the German soldiers is extremely cross-eyed and yet is the one manning the machine gun as the protagonists escape via gliders at the end of the film (the movie shows what he sees by defocusing the camera until there are two images of the plane). He ends up damaging the recon plane that was tailing the heroes, forcing its pilot to bail. | |

Pressure Point: When Lefort and Bouvet are locked in a cell, they call a prison guard and shout "Heil Hitler!" raising arms in a Nazi salute. Turns out, the salute is a perfect position for neck chops from both sides, and a soldier answering "Sieg Heil!" isn't expecting it. Of course, they didn't care about the guard's survival. | |

Shrug Take: In his dressing room, Lefort pushes a needle into his wig (which is on a wig stand) and he feels a pain in his head. He does it again and he feels the same. Then he hits his wig with a hairbrush and he feels the blow on his head. Eventually he chooses to ignore completely this strange phenomenon and to go about his business. | |

Shout-Out | |
La Grande Vadrouille / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: Faust, the opera by Hector Berlioz (which is an adaptation of Goethe's play), is played at the Palais Garnier. The opera is not showed, but we can hear some music from it (the Rákóczi March) and we also see the opera singers with their costumes (Mephistopheles, for example). Juliette's grandfather is a puppeteer. A part of his show is showed in the film. Its protagonist is Guignol, a traditional French puppet character. On the train, a German officer recites a poem by Charles Péguy. | |
