Description of this La Grande Vadrouille Poster
La Grande Vadrouille is a 1966 French-British comedy film set in 1942 about French civilians who help the crew of a Royal Air Force bomber shot down over Paris fight their way through occupied France by the Germans to safe territory.
On a summer day in 1942, a lost RAF bomber strayed over Paris and was shot down by German DCA. After planning to meet in the Turkish baths of the Grand Mosque of Paris, the crew parachutes, but only three of them escape capture. Sir Reginald lands at the Vincennes Zoo and, after receiving civilian clothes from a friendly zookeeper, heads to the baths. Peter Cunningham lands on the platform of a house painter, Augustin Bouvet, from where they escape the Germans and are hidden by a puppeteer, Juliette; Augustin goes to the baths on Cunningham's behalf. Alan MacIntosh lands at the Opéra Garnier, where he is reluctantly helped by the conductor, Stanislas Lefort, who goes to the baths in his place. Meanwhile, Major Achbach's German soldiers furiously pursue the three men and their helpers.
After the meeting at the baths, Lefort leaves Reginald and Bouvet to organize the kidnapping of MacIntosh, but in the meantime Achbach has discovered the link between Lefort and the fugitive aviators and takes him prisoner while he returns to the opera. That evening, Reginald and Bouvet, wearing stolen German uniforms, arrive to look for MacIntosh, and in the confusion of a bombing attempt against a German SS commander, all three and Lefort are aided in their escape by resistance fighters among the opera staff. However, they miss the train that Juliette and Peter take to go to Meursault, from where they can cross the demarcation line into the French free zone. Following a blunder, Peter is discovered, arrested and taken to German headquarters in Meursault.
After leaving Paris, Reginald, Lefort, Bouvet and MacIntosh meet Sister Marie-Odile, a nun whose order secretly helps the Resistance. Bouvet and Lefort are sent ahead to Meursault to a hotel belonging to Juliette's aunt, but there they almost run into Achbach, who has gone there to question Cunningham. Disguised as a Feldgendarmerie patrol, they were supposed to cross the demarcation line the next morning, but were unmasked and brought back to Meursault. Reginald and MacIntosh are supposed to cross the line separately through Marie-Odile, hidden in two barrels of wine, but due to a communication error, their barrels are diverted into the cellar of Meursault's headquarters.
After discovering the presence of their friends in the building, the aviators set a fire and take advantage of the ensuing chaos to free them. With Marie-Odile driving a horse cart, the fugitives head to a closed gliding club, where they intend to use the gliders to reach the nearby free zone. Closely pursued by Achbach, they manage to take off just in time, and a final attempt to shoot them down with a machine gun is accidentally foiled by a squinting soldier, allowing them to fly to safety.
