Product features:
- Poor Rene. He was last seen in a prisoner of war camp, trapped with his wife and both mistresses, not to mention the two idiotic British airmen and Michelle, the hardest taskmaster of the Resistance. What's worse, Cafe Rene and its gin supply are in the unreliable hands of his mother-in-law. More hare-brained schemes, more cross-dressers, more sausages, more fractured accents, more double entendre
Movie Reviews of 'Allo, 'Allo! Complete Series Four
Movie Review: Mimi, "You will never see a better episode"
Summary: 5 Stars
"Allo Allo!" Has been around since 1982 and has just recently become available in the USA on a decent media. This particular complete series four contains six episodes:
Prisoners of War
Camp Dance
Good Staff are Hard to Find
The Flying Nun
The Sausages in the Trousers
The Jet-Propelled Mother-in-law
Basic story is of a café owner René; this is in France during the WWII occupation. He must balance dealing with the local Germans, the Gestapo, the good Resistance, the commie Resistance, having affairs with his female help, dealing with his wife and mother-in-law. Throw in some downed British airmen and some onion soup.
I will not go though this series in detail because for those that have not seen it or if it has been while since viewing the series, the surprise factor and the one liners are worth discovering first hand.
I do not recall the broadcast of Series Four. However the people and mix have changed Maria Recamier (Pilot, Series 1-3) ends up in Switzerland never to be seen again.
We also lose Captain Hans Geering (Sam Kelly) on the way. He ends up in England for the duration. Look for him in Series Seven.
Both Hans and Maria get replacements. And they work well but it is just not the same.
Watch as Mimi gives Herr Flick (Flick the Gestapo) a bottle of wine and say "You will never drink a better bottle."
One nice thing about this series is that they place the name next to the actor at the end of each episode. Most of the actors are well known out side of this series. I was shocked however to find that Gestapo Herr Otto Flick (Richard Gibson) Played British Capt. Newman in Ken Follett's "The Key to Rebecca" (1985) and completely changed his accent.
I was surprised to see Lt. Hubert Gruber (Guy Siner.) in Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003.)
Key to Rebecca - Richard Gibson
