After being chosen to represent France in an international congress, Cruchot and his troops must go to New York, and adapt to its social and cultural aspects.
well, usually, it's American movies that happens in France or french ones that are remake over there. So to have a french movie in locations in America it's very unique (the other ones i know would be Leon, Nous York). honestly at this year, 1965, it's like all the french have made the trip too and discovered, on a big screen, as Fufu and his pals, the swinging 60s in America: tall buildings, huge cars, color TV, etc... The historical value is truly high because they even do the trip by steamboat and as it's the real France, nothing can match the authenticity of the scenes! As for the plot, the story is funny with Fufu having again visions and the french manners... You can see that Fufu was a comedy genius as he manages to be also funny without any lines, just by body movements like the future Mr Bean... I rate it 10 because it's a classic of french cinema for me but i admit that the last reel is a bit empty and long when it comes to do the trip back to Saint Tropez...
