Le gendarme et les extra-terrestres/The Troops & Aliens (1979)

The bungling inspector Cruchot (Funès) finds himself trying to save the residents of St. Tropez from some oil-drinking humanoid aliens. The only way to tell the aliens from the real people, besides their constant thirst for oil-products, is that they sound like empty garbage cans when you touch them. Chaos is ahead.

A Sunday movie,just for laugh!

REPLIES TO NANETTE NOT GETTING UPSET

@wannabecatwriter

Go Nannette! Not bad, not bad at all.

@skyburned

You go girl. And find a bra to burn while you're at it! (probably plenty of those lying around)

@nocturnalazure

Nanette is on fire!

@princessdejamars

awesome....wondering if this is maybe a test set up by Raj? hmmm.....

@simcatcher

She's the most awesomest like hey wow mom of the year *clap clap clap*

@mysimsloveaffair

I'm too distracted by how amazing these shots are to fully grasp the seriousness of this situation.

@stsciurussimblr

Oh dear. . .

@shhhushhh

I'm impressed by her ❤ You made this step back in time so masterfully, Pru! And I don't need to know about Mia's dad anymore, not necessarily. This chapter answers many of my questions re Mia ❤

I’m so happy it worked, thank you so much as always for the support, dear Mirena. It seemed to fit that Nanette might have been a political activist in her youth...she has a definite bohemian streak, as evidenced by the way she has raised Mia (and the fact that she is very tolerant of Mia’s wild behaviour), and there’s also the fact that she never married, (and we’ve also been afforded little glimpses into her psyche like how she embraced the fact that Joël lived on a houseboat, because it made him seem like a free spirit. Not kowtowing to society’s rules has always been something dear to Nanette’s heart, which is another reason the idea of being a money smuggler appeals to her). And of course in her student days she would also have learnt to cultivate a healthy disrespect for authority, something that has stayed with her all her life and which made her a force to be reckoned with when the gendarmes came knocking. And it’s obviously a very useful trait to have when dealing with customs officers!

@sweetnovember77

I suppose that the Australian law is the same as UK law.

She was probably only bluffing about the laws, but evidently it worked.

@mochasims

well go on nanette! she handled that impeccably. i was scared she'd crumble. maybe she is about that life. lol although she took a hell of chance assuming french laws are the same as her hometown.

Nanette has hidden depths! Maybe she is ;=). And like I said to Char above, she was probably only bluffing about the laws, but it appears to have paid off. I’m very proud of the old girl!

@shhhushhh

Also, I don't know if you are acquainted with French cinema, but there are several old movies called The Troops from St. Tropez I was raised with and I will never be able to take the French police seriously (or any police tbh) 😂😂

I haven’t, but I can just imagine. Like a whole team of bumbling Inspector Clouseaus?? 😂😂

Joseph Bertony: The spy who helped mastermind the Sydney Opera House

Image copyright Getty Images

Over 1953, they moved in their tens of thousands, leaving war-torn Europe for Australia in pursuit of a better life.

Among them was Joseph Bertony. Despite being only 31 at the time, the engineer had already lived through a lot.

After joining the French Navy, Bertony had been recruited as a spy for the Allied forces. But this had led to him being interned in two Nazi concentration camps, where his genius was exploited and he was forced to work on the construction of Nazi flying bombs.

Eventually he escaped, and was awarded the French military medal Croix de Guerre for his service.

Little did he know when he left Europe that one of his greatest achievements was still ahead of him: the completion of the 30,000 hand-calculated mathematical formulae that made the Sydney Opera House’s iconic sails a reality.

Joseph Bertony died on 7 April, aged 97, at his home near Sydney.

Image caption Bertony, pictured with a model of his arch for the opera house sails, had to be correct to within half an inch

Bertony was born on the French island of Corsica and, after leaving school, he joined the Navy and moved to St Tropez to study to become a naval engineer.

But being young and bright, it wasn’t long before he was recruited by the intelligence service – something he saw as a smart career move.

“It did teach him lots of special skills,” Australian journalist Helen Pitt tells BBC News. Ms Pitt first met Bertony when he was 95, while she was doing research for The House, her book on the creation of the Sydney Opera House. Until then his contribution had not been widely acknowledged, due in no small part to his modesty. The two of them remained friends.

Even in his old age, she says, “he was a very quiet man; he watched the room around him, and he took the cues from others around him in the room. He said that often that was a skill from being a spy – watching how people were and taking cues from them”.

More lives in profile:

Spying was dangerous work, and a short while into the job Bertony was uncovered by Nazi forces. He was sent to Mauthausen-Gusen, a concentration camp near Vienna where it’s estimated at least 90,000 people were killed.

He was forced to work there until the guards made an error while transporting people that, miraculously, allowed him to escape. After regaining his freedom, he returned to work for the French military.

But he was later arrested again on the streets of Paris, and this time he was sent to the notorious Buchenwald camp in Germany.

Almost 280,000 people were imprisoned in Buchenwald, many of whom were political prisoners like Bertony.

The ‘leader of the carrots’

He was made to put his technical skills to use in the production of the German V1 and V2 bombs – the latter of which was the world’s first ballistic liquid-propelled missile. It was nicknamed “Vengeance Weapon Two” by Josef Goebbels’ ministry of propaganda.

Bertony was ashamed of this work, Ms Pitt tells the BBC, and he remained so until his old age. But, she says, he had no choice – “he was forced to do it”.

Bertony and other prisoners would work long hours in an underground factory in a tunnel, with nothing to eat but the very occasional loaf of bread to be shared between five of them. Sometimes, Bertony would give up his share so the others could have more – an act that would anger the SS guards.

“It is lucky I have a good metabolism, as I was able to survive on very little food,” he would tell Ms Pitt years later. Because of the long-term starvation, she says, he had to train himself to survive with little to no food for weeks.

The prisoners also had to intermittently work on a farm, with Bertony being designated the “carotenfuhrer” – that is, the leader of the carrots – who was responsible for guarding silos full of the vegetable. The punishment for allowing someone to eat a carrot was that both he and they would be stripped naked and whipped; with people starving, this ended up happening many times.

Escape from execution

When US troops eventually arrived to liberate the camp in 1945, SS guards quickly rounded up the prisoners and marched them to the mountainous German-Czech border, where they then loaded them onto a cattle train.

It was a mass execution. After travelling for a while the train stopped, the guards dug a large hole and started shooting the prisoners. The bodies were then heaped into the pit.

Anticipating what was happening, Bertony, by then in his early 20s, and another man about the same age decided to take their chances. The two jumped out of the train and landed in the snow before escaping on foot.

Read about more notable lives

It was freezing cold, and they were wearing nothing but the thin, flimsy jacket and trousers that formed their camp uniform. But they started to walk, and eventually got to safety.

The two remained friends for decades afterwards. That man, Bertony would later admit, was the only person he really felt comfortable talking to about the war.

A new life in Australia

In 1953, Bertony was one of about 170,000 European migrants to resettle in Australia in the years after World War Two. The Australian Government assisted people from the war-torn continent to move, provided they agreed to work in jobs that they were assigned for at least two years.

He was given a job as an engineer at a construction company called Hornibrook, which at that point was known mainly for building large bridges. While there, he met the woman who would later become his wife – and with that, he realised he would be in Australia for the rest of his life.

In the early 1960s he was deployed to Sydney to solve a complex problem to do with one of the city’s major projects: a new opera house.

Bauer Media

He would eat, breathe and sleep the Sydney Opera House.

The issue, he learned, was that the roof of the building was supposed to be made up of large concrete sails – a visually arresting but logistically very tricky plan. An even more ambitious design, with flatter sails, had already been ruled out.

What it needed was a strong arch that would be able to support exactly the amount of pressure from the concrete. So he set to work.

Bertony spent the next half a year working on the calculations for that arch support, solving 30,000 different complex equations by hand. Those notes, which are now on display in Sydney’s Museum of Applied Arts and Sciences, were all neatly and methodically laid out.

“He was a brilliant mathematician,” Ms Pitt says. “He did those 30,000 hand-rendered mathematical equations in six months, which is a very short period of time – and that’s all he did. He would eat, breathe and sleep the Sydney Opera House.”

Image copyright Getty Images

Image caption The Sydney Opera House, pictured in 1963, was one of the country’s most ambitious construction projects

The margin of error on these calculations was tiny – about half an inch – so Hornibrook naturally wanted to check that Bertony hadn’t made any mistakes. They needed a computer.

At that time, there was only one computer in the country with the capacity to process something this complicated. It was the IBM 7090, and it was located in a military research centre in Woomera – about 1,700 km from Sydney.

As well as being far away, the computer was available for only one week a month – and even then, only at night. So one of Bertony’s younger colleagues, David Evans, diligently spent those weeks running the sums through the computer.

When he finally finished, it was confirmed: Bertony hadn’t made a single error.

Image copyright Helen Pitt

Image caption Bertony developed a love of electric cars in his final years

In his autumn years, Bertony developed a love of electric cars and fine French food, regularly trying out new restaurants in Sydney and eating his food slowly and methodically. He also kept up his work by mentoring young engineers, and when he died he was working on a Scottish wind farm project.

He even completed all of the the mathematical calculations necessary for the opera house’s original, discarded design, also by hand – just to prove that it would have been possible after all.

And Ms Pitt says that occasionally, despite years having passed, he would still be in awe of what he had helped to create.

“The last time I drove with him across the Harbour Bridge, he glanced over to the right to the opera house as he was driving and said: ‘I still can’t believe I did that.'”

Last year I had this idea to live for a month in some of the Europe’s cities. It would be costly for sure but just thinking about cruising through Europe in car makes me smile and excited for what’s to come. Basically since last year I’m very flexible with my work and I’m also doing well on gambling so why not to use this to have some adventures and again live with one bag on my shoulder. I think I will start with Prague then Vienna and maybe Bratislava. After that Munich and some time in Switzerland before heading out south. Milan, Monaco, Saint-Tropez are on the way. I can now simply imagine myself driving the boulevard in Saint-Tropez like in one of my favourite series of movies ‘The Troops of St. Tropez’. And I would love to visit Liechtenstein, Andorra, Gibraltar as I was always fascinated with those small countries. Ending up in Portugal would be obvious thing. Basically this would be like mixing Irwin Shaw ‘Nightwork’ with ‘Mississippi Grind’ and ‘California Split’

Princové jsou na draka That one Star Trek movie, maybe? Plume le petit ours polaire Harry Potter 4 Pearl Harbor The troops of St. Tropez (and yes it absolutely is because I watched it with my grandfather regulary, no other reason)

64. “Just Too Bloody Stupid” by The Close Lobsters

So bloody clever more like. Before people got into rhyming time with sunshine, you had bands like the Close Lobsters writing intricate, intense, cerebral pop with hooks and choruses. with opaque lines that left you asking unanswered questions.

Did I see them first time round? Maybe not, but I can’t remember why especially when they followed Foxheads with Headache. But in 13, of course, we trooped up north and to be fair it was worth it. I even DJed at one point but I can’t remember playing anything other than World of Twist.

Backward, spineless selfish swine. This is the Klosters skiing trip (is it?). Put a six-inch nail through my head, it swelled up like a beach ball. Tapes on the way to St Tropez. Martyrs and pimps and mother of God.

While many viewers may associate French movies with serious drama, for years, comedy has been king in French cinema and the fourth Oh La La! Festival of French comedy, which will run at cinematheques November 14 to 30, celebrates Gallic laughter.

This year’s festival, which will be held at the cinematheques in Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, Haifa and Sderot, as well as Globus Ashdod and the Savyon Cultural Center, will feature 21 films, most of them recent comedies, as well as several classics. Many of the films will have both English and Hebrew subtitles.

Grégoire Vigneron, the screenwriter of Laurent Tirard’s Return of the Hero, the festival’s opening-night movie, will attend screenings. The film stars two of the biggest stars in Europe, Jean Dujardin, who won a Best Actor Oscar for The Artist, and Melanie Laurent, who is best known to audiences as the heroine of Quentin Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds. Laurent plays Elisabeth, a serious young woman who starts writing letters to her sister meant to be from her sister’s unscrupulous fiancée (Dujardin), when he goes to fight in the Napoleonic Wars. When he returns, her ruse gets her into trouble.

There will be a number of special events at this year’s festival. One of the highlights will be a meeting on November 16 at noon at the Institut Francais d’Israel in Tel Aviv, hosted by Dr. Avner Shavit, the movie critic of Walla!, with three comedy screenwriters, two French and one Israeli: Grégoire Vigneron (Return of the Hero) Benoît Graffin, (Encore Heureux) and Itzik Kricheli, who wrote and directed the Israeli hit The Last Band in Lebanon. They will examine the art of coaxing laughter out of an audience.

Other films in the festival include Pierre Godeau’s Raoul Taburin, which tells the story of the owner of a bicycle shop who has a big secret – he himself does not know how to ride a bicycle. It stars Benoît Poelvoorde and Edouard Baer.

Dany Boon’s latest movie, La Ch’tite Famille, in which he also stars, tells the story of Valentin D, an in-demand architect who claims to be an orphan because he is too ashamed to admit he is the son of working-class scrap metal merchants from the north of France.

Becassine!, directed by Bruno Podalydès, is about a childlike woman from the country who dreams of living in Paris.

JPOST VIDEOS THAT MIGHT INTEREST YOU:

Robin Sykes’s In the Game finds laughs in the story of a teenager taking his grandfather with Alzheimer’s disease to a basketball tournament.

The always charming Fabrice Luchini stars in several of the movies, including Laurent Tuel’s Jean-Philippe, part of a tribute to Johnny Hallyday, France’s greatest rocker, who passed away last year; and Laurent Tirard’s Moliere, where he plays a stodgy aristocrat who needs the help of the young playwright to seduce a woman.

Michel Blanc’s Kiss & Tell is an intergenerational family comedy, which stars some of the all-time greats of French cinema, among them Charlotte Rampling, Jacques Dutronc and Carole Bouquet.

Among the classics will be Jean Girault’s The Troops of St. Tropez, starring Louis de Funès, and Israeli director Alon Gur Arye will introduce this film at screenings; Gerard Oury’s The Brain, which stars Jean-Paul Belmondo as a robber trying to steal NATO funds that are being transported by train; and Francis Veber’s The Goat, about a detective sent to find the accident-prone daughter of a wealthy businessman who has disappeared in Mexico, which stars Gerard Depardieu.

The festival was organized and produced by Caroline Boneh, the CEO of Eden Films, with the support of the Institut Francais of Tel Aviv and UniFrance Films. The event is part of the French-Israel Cultural Season.
