The Seventh Company Outdoors

The film trilogy about the Seventh Company was a successful attempt at a pleasant, non-offensive popular comedy about a not-very successful period of modern French history - the rapid humiliating defeat of the French army in World War II and the subsequent occupation. I regularly return to the Seventh Company about every 10 years, and unlike many other thematically and stylistically similar titles, the trilogy has not become significantly exhausted. I dare not claim that the final film in the series is the best, but personally, I like it the most. After all, the circle of characters has expanded, the resistance fighters create an interesting contrast to the trio of carefree troublemakers, and the interplay of coincidences, which attributes heroic deeds to the trio, ensures a reliable supply of gags and humorous situations for the audience. I can also add to that the likable cast led by Jean Lefebvre. Overall impression: 70%. (08/30/2018)
