Rene Artois - An Adult version of the Artful Dodger,
By Bruce Mcgregor - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Allo Allo! Comp Series Seven (DVD)
Set in the second World War this is the next release of a send up of the French Resistance during the German occupation of France, and covers the escapades of Rene Artois, a French Resturant owner. He is a chance "Hero of the French Resistance" but is really more interested in taking chances with the hot blooded flirtations of his waitresses - and less interested in his wife and mother-in-law with whom his short verbal exchanges never amount to much more than, "Shut Up! You Silly Old Bat".It is made funnier by a German Leutenant who "is mad about the boy" - but of course one needs intrigue and skullduggery with stolen art and the "Gestoopo" who are always trying to catch the plot but usually miss it. A superb series that really must be part of your video collection. The frustrating part about buying these DVD's is that the distributor cannot do the honourable thing and release the entire series in one release. The excuse for this may well be marketing but this does not enhance my opinion of them for this policy. Hurry up and release the rest of the series, you idle slackers!!!!! 3 of 3 people found the following review helpful

Encore un fois - Allo Allo,
By Badger - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Allo Allo! Comp Series Seven (DVD)
Further episodes of this amusing series.Purists may be appalled at some of the changes of cast (Lt. Bertorelli and M. LeClerc), but one at least was unavoidable (due the untimely death of Jack Haig, the actor who played LeClerc). The actor who plays Rene Artois ( Gordon Kaye) sports a rather spectacular scar on the forehead in this series, due to a tree falling on him on 25th January 1990 during the spectacular storms in the UK, but the fun carries on as usual. The whole thing is a parody of a serious BBC TV series called "Secret Army" which was all about a cafe run by a prominent member of the Resistance. Lt Hans Gering makes a welcome return as a British Intelligence Officer and even Winston Churchill makes a cameo appearance. I did hear that Germans loved this series and I imaginee that the French were probably baffled by it. Strangely enought the British, who made it, are portrayed as complete idiots (e.g. the British airmen and the dreadful French spoken by the fake Gendarme Crabtree - "Good Moaning", which shows that the British still have the endearing quality of laughing at themselves. |
