- Meet Rene, the most wanted man in occupied France. Women want his body. The Resistance want his brain. And the Nazis want his sausage. In a small cafe in Nouvion, France, this harassed proprietor is having a difficult war. With the German Army in residence at the bar, Rene is risking his neck to aid the Resistance by hiding two British airmen and a radio transmitter upstairs. As if this wasn't eno
Movie Reviews of 'Allo 'Allo - The Complete Series One
Movie Review: Excellent!
Summary: 5 Stars
Life is hard in Nazi-occupied France, especially for one Rene Artois (played by Gorden Kaye). As if keeping two mistresses secret from his wife weren't enough, the local German commandant wants him to hide a priceless painting, the DeGaulle resistance wants him to hide two downed British airmen, the communist resistance wants him shot as a collaborator, and there's a ruthless Gestapo agent who wants to know just what he is up to. Can Rene juggle all of these conflicting designs on him and at the same time keep his sanity and his life? Well...possibly.
I must admit that I had never seen `Allo `Allo before my wife bought me this DVD set, but I was quite pleasantly surprised by it. The ensemble of actors does an excellent job of playing this lively group of wacky people, none of whom are playing with a full deck. The jokes come fast and furious in this farce, and each show is actually better than the last. (I can't wait until the second season becomes available!)
Now, on the downside, there is a certain amount of adult situations involved, with Rene trading his waitresses' sexual favors for supplies for his restaurant, for example. But, overall it is not too bad, and can be ignored. So, let me just say that I loved this DVD set, and I recommend it to anyone who likes a good comedy, especially a good British comedy!
Incase you are interested, the episodes on this DVD set are:
The British Are Coming - Pilot (30 December 1982) - When the Resistance comes to Rene to hide a pair of downed British airmen, and the local German commandant some to him to hide a valuable stolen painting, his juggling act begin.
The Fallen Madonna - Series 1, episode 1 (14 September 1984) - When the local Gestapo agent demands the missing painting, Rene convinces the Colonel and his aide-de-camp to loan their uniforms to the pair of British airmen, so that they can get the painting to England and get a forged copy to hand over. What can possibly go wrong? Quite a lot, actually.
Pigeon Post - Series 1, episode 2 (21 September 1984) - The Colonel and his aide are now uniformless, and must disguise themselves as onion sellers, but when they are spotted by the Gestapo man, they must think quick!
Saville Row to the Rescue - Series 1, episode 3 (28 September 1984) - Rene and company can now meet an airplane from London and get the forged painting and replacement uniforms. But, nothing can go smoothly for this unlucky troop.
The Execution - Series 1, episode 4 (5 October 1984) - When a side trip to blow up a railroad line goes wrong, Rene and company wind up in a German jail. How embarrassing for the Colonel! And, how unlucky for Rene!
The Funeral - Series 1, episode 5 (12 October 1984) - Having survived his execution, Rene must now pass himself off as his own twin brother. Worse, the Gestapo will be watching his funeral, and his casket is full of explosives!
Reds Nick Colonel - Series 1, episode 6 (19 October 1984) - To avenge René's "death" the communist resistance kidnap the Colonel and his aide, and want Rene to shoot them. Worse, the Gestapo wants to know where the Colonel is, and are questioning the inhabitants of the restaurant.
The Dance of the Hitler Youth - Series 1, episode 7 (26 October 1984) - It is time for the German's annual celebration of the burning of the Reichstag, and now is a perfect time for Rene to steal the painting from Gestapo headquarters. Wow, things are getting complicated now!
