Movie Reviews of 'Allo 'Allo! - The Complete Series Six
Movie Review: 'Allo 'Allo
Summary: 5 Stars
Where has this been all my life?! (Or at least since the '80s.) Twenty years after this British series aired I was introduced to it by my parents. I bought the entire series for their anniversary and we proceeded to watch it from beginning-to-end over the course of about three weeks. The humor is as fresh and hilarious as the best of the best, and we were howling at the zany antics in the story lines.
Set in WWII in a French cafe owned by René Artois (whose stray left eye is funny all by itself), the story line throughout involves trying to smuggle two British airmen back to England. The town is occupied by Germans, who are some of René's best customers. Michelle, the leader of the French Resistance, appears in every episode in the cafe's back room to announce yet another cock-a-mamy plot, saying, "Listen very carefully, for I will say this only once."
A stolen painting called "The Fallen Madonna with the Big Boobies" is coveted by the Germans, René, and by Hitler himself, and René hides it in a knockworst sausage which hangs in his storeroom. He plans to sell it after the war to live on, but some of the German officers have the same idea. Copies are made and stuffed into more sausages, and that's only the beginning.
The Resistance installed a radio in the flooring below the bed of René's aging mother-in-law, and a piss-pot serves as the speaker. When they have to send a message to England they tilt up the foot of the bed, much to the protests of the mother-in-law, and René says into the microphone, "'Allo, 'allo, thees ees Blackhawk speaking."
There is a brilliant device used to differentiate French and English: the actors portraying the French speak English with a French accent, and those portraying Brits speak a form of pigeon English. A Brit impersonating a French policeman says such things as, "Good moaning. I have bad nose." René rolls his eyes and says, "Who taught you how to speak French?"
No one is spared. The French are sex-crazy, the Germans are rigid idiots, and the Brits are complete buffoons, all making for a most entertaining series. Highly recommended!
