About this photo
Louis de Funès in *The Gendarme and the Gendarmettes* - The Saint-Tropez Police Academy
This iconic image captures Louis de Funès as Chief Ludovic Cruchot during filming at the National Police Academy in Saint-Cyr-au-Mont-d'Or in 1982. Directed by Tony Aboyantz and Jean Girault, this sixth installment of the series was Louis de Funès’s final major role before his passing. The film marks the arrival of the first female gendarmes in the brigade, revolutionizing the male-dominated world of *Le Gendarme* and *Les Gendarmettes*.
With 3.2 million admissions at the French box office, this film brings a fitting conclusion to a saga that has drawn more than 40 million viewers. Louis de Funès’s performance, despite his heart problems, is a testament to his legendary professionalism. This French comedy remains a landmark of French popular cinema.
Relive the emotion of the last laugh from the King of French comedy.
