Featured in Le gendarme en balade (1970)

The second sequel in a long series...

...and not the worst.There are good reasons to watch it: -It was the time of "the France" a luxury liner ,where a lot of of the action takes place.

-Geneviève Grad is well cast as De Funès's daughter .She is very anxious to accompany her dear dad to New-York but as she is not invited ,she 's a stowaway on the ship .

-Her father "seems " to see her sometimes ,but he will never realize she 's been with him all along the way.

-On the streets of the Big Apple,there's a funny spoof on "West Side Story".

Jean Girault was no genius.But his movie is quite entertaining.
