Hi Moshe,
I told you, it is better to learn to speak (or only to understand) german.
I have it but unfortunately in german.

Do you understand French, Moshe ?

Posted by Moshe Yitzhak (Member # 2718) on July 29, 2013, 09:48 AM:

No. But i know how to say arret.

Posted by Dominique De Bast (Member # 3798) on July 29, 2013, 09:59 AM:

That's a start...

Posted by Moshe Yitzhak (Member # 2718) on July 29, 2013, 11:13 AM:

I know this movie like i know myself since i was a kid.
Thats why no matter what language...even hindu. [Smile]

I was too lucky to buy it from Oemer in which he is also a great seller and above all a
great person to chat with. FYI.

And Jean thanks for your kind offer. Its a shame that the US dont know about louis de fines and do not know his movies as he is So funny.

I just see his angry face i start to smile.

Moshe, Hindu is a religion. The language is Hindi, Bollywood movies are in Hindi.

Congrats on finding your film. Is it a comedy? I too don't know this movie, must look into it.

Posted by Moshe Yitzhak (Member # 2718) on July 29, 2013, 01:52 PM:

Akshay, you're right!
Im on my cellphone thats why i misspelled it [Smile]

Its a must I guess.
one of my all time fav. and thanks to Oemer its on the way to me [Smile]

By the way, the correct name of the actor is Louis de Funes. For those who don't know him, try the films with "Le gendarme" in the title ("Le gendarme de Saint-Tropez", "Le gendarme à New York", "Le gendarme se marie"...), also "Le Corniaud", "La grande vadrouille" and if you become fan, there are many others. Enjoy.

Posted by Moshe Yitzhak (Member # 2718) on July 29, 2013, 02:00 PM:

Its so pity that you cant find them with english subs.
Even on DVDs [Confused]

Posted by Akshay Nanjangud (Member # 2828) on July 29, 2013, 02:03 PM:

I haven't heard of this actor. So your suggestion is helpful, Dominique.

Gotta hand it to you Moshe. Your WTB lists are appealing, at least to my tastes. Any updates on Herzog?

Posted by Dominique De Bast (Member # 3798) on July 29, 2013, 02:14 PM:

Moshe, you can find film with Louis de Funes on dvd with English language. For those who know Yves Montand, there is "La folie des grandeurs" (also with Louis de Funes of course). [Smile]

Posted by Moshe Yitzhak (Member # 2718) on July 29, 2013, 02:49 PM:

Thanks for the info Dom.
Have you seen Le Gendarme et les Extra-terrestres on dvd with english subs?

Posted by Dominique De Bast (Member # 3798) on July 29, 2013, 10:52 PM:

Not specifically this film but other films with Louis de Funes.

Posted by Moshe Yitzhak (Member # 2718) on July 30, 2013, 02:25 AM:

He is VERY popular in Israel.

Posted by Dominique De Bast (Member # 3798) on July 30, 2013, 07:35 AM:

While I am in Israël, I will look in a shop if I can find films with Louis de Funes. I suppose that he is famous for the film "Rabbi Jacobs" [Wink]

Posted by Moshe Yitzhak (Member # 2718) on July 30, 2013, 07:45 AM:

yes it is' and this was his breakthorugh out europe to the US market with this movie and its amazing soundtrack.

Posted by Ronald Kwiatkowski (Member # 3349) on July 30, 2013, 11:41 AM:

Louis de Funès is a legend in francophone countries. He's kind of a Jerry Lewis (grimacing a lot), but with an angry and self-sufficient attitude. He usually plays patriarchs of the bourgeoisie, men of power. Which is always kind of silly, since he's quite small. His female partner is often the tall Claude Gensac. One if his films, "Oscar", has been remade by John Landis with Sly Stallone. Vice-versa, the Glenn Ford classic "The Gazebo" was turned into the successful french "Monsieur Jo" with de Funès. He led a quiet private life, living in a Chateau and having a rose flower named after him (he used to cultivate roses).

Posted by Oemer Yalinkilic (Member # 86) on July 30, 2013, 02:09 PM:

He was also popular in turkey. I watched the first feature as I was something about 5 or 6 years old in turkey. I remember there was a car in a tree. I never watched the whole movie again, so I can´t remember the title.
Later they aired on TV (in germany) many of his movies and I loved them.
A friend of mine met Lois de Funes in a small town in france and he told me he was very unfriendly.

Posted by Moshe Yitzhak (Member # 2718) on July 30, 2013, 03:08 PM:

Ha ha ha....like in his movies..maybe it was his cloned robot like in Le Gendarme et les Extra-terrestres [Big Grin]

Posted by Ronald Kwiatkowski (Member # 3349) on July 31, 2013, 03:15 PM:

Oemer, that film is called "Sur un arbre perché" (meaning: Up in a tree). It's definitely one of his best. An obnoxious CEO slides off the road, over a cliff. He lands with his car in a lonely tree on the cliff side. Almost the entire film takes place around that tree. A very clever movie...
I don't know about his manners, but he was living reclusively...

Posted by Dominique De Bast (Member # 3798) on August 13, 2013, 02:14 PM:

Moshe, I don't advise anybody to buy dvds instead of films but for your information, I saw today, here in Tel Aviv, a dvds box with the flms of Le gendarme and the box was in Hebrew, so I assume that the films have subtitles in this language.

Posted by Moshe Yitzhak (Member # 2718) on August 15, 2013, 12:52 AM:

where at? can you PM me more info on that.
I know a 4 DVD box but non with the Gendarme.

did you mean this one : web page

If so its not in it.
thanks
Moshe

He was most popular in Greece also.I have a number of his films on DVD (French with greek subtitles).Les aventures de Rabbi Jacob is his all time best.You can also look at Le Tatuee where he is an art dealer trying to buy a tattoo painted on Jean Gabin's back (!!),L' Homme Orchestre,Le Grand Restaurant and Moliere's L'Avare, which he also directed.Silent b&w excerpts from other films of his were issued by Film Office.

Posted by Vidar Olavesen (Member # 3354) on August 15, 2013, 04:47 AM:

I think some of these are available in bigger than 8mm format ... But with norwegian subtitles. I might skip them, as I didn't like them too much when I was young (I have changed my mind about other films, so I might need to check it out again)

I found him very stressful and noisy

Posted by Dominique De Bast (Member # 3798) on August 15, 2013, 06:40 AM:

Moshe, yes this is this box I saw and it is Le gendarme serial, I suppose you mean that there is not Le gendarme et les extra-terrestres. As it is in Hebrew, I didn't try to translate as I have no idea how to say alien in this language. I see that they transleted gendarme by choter. In French, there is a difference between gendarme and policeman (choter) but in many countries there are only policemen so I guess that in other languages they must have transleted like that, too. Panayotis, the title is Le tatoué.

thanks, I'll grab it anyways [Big Grin]
