Plot summary

Monsieur Bosquier, the owner of a private school, is far from pleased when his eldest son, Philippe, fails his end of year exams. He decides to send his wayward offspring to England to improve his English. In exchange, Philippe’s host, a wealthy whisky distiller, Mac Farrel, will send his daughter, Shirley, to live with the Bosquiers in France. However, Philippe has already decided to spend the summer holidays on a yacht with his friends, so he sends a fellow student, Michonnet, to England in his place. The deception is soon discovered but things go from bad to worse when Philippe and Shirley fall in love and fly to Scotland to get married...

Il est toujours bon de regarder un classique

Il est toujours bon de regarder un classique avec Louis de Funes. Quand on le voit, on se dit que les comédies "populaire" de l'époque ont bien définitivement disparu du paysage français. Et pourtant, la comédie en France reste quand le même le cinéma qui génère le plus d'argent... Mais quand on le compare on se fait peur ! Jamais un RTT, Safari, le petit Nicolas ou les Chtis ne rivaliseront avec les films de l'époque. J'ai l'impression de parler comme un vieux con mais quand je vois l'énergie débordante, les dialogues et ces acteurs comiques qui portent le film a bout de bras je trouve ça quand même dommage que tout ça soit perdu... Pour en revenir aux "Grandes Vacances", même si il n'est pas un grand de Funes, il reste une sacré morceau de pelloche, sorte de road movie avant l'heure et à cent à l'heure ! On regrettera une dernière partie beaucoup moins drôle que la majeur partie du film et pourtant bien rythmé. Allez... De Groote Lulu (pour les connaisseurs).

Les grandes vacances is a French-Italian comedy movie

-Les grandes vacances is a French-Italian comedy movie from 1967, directed by Jean Girault, written by Jean Girault, and starring by Louis de Funès. -Charles Bosquier is the dictatorial headmaster of a French school. One of his own sons miserably failed his exams, so he sends him to England as exchange student. Louis de Funès (French pronunciation:( lwi d? fy.nes ) hear; 31 July 1914 - 27 January 1983), born Louis Germain David de Funès de Galarza, was a popular French actor of Spanish origin and one of the giants of French comedy alongside André Bourvil and Fernandel. His acting style is remembered for its high energy performance, wide range of facial expressions and engaging, snappy impatience and selfishness. A big part of his most famous work was in collaboration with director Jean Girault, and together, they wrote and directed the French classic L'avare (1980) in which he also starred. He was a household name in several countries of Europe (Czechoslovakia, Germany, Spain, Turkey, Romania and USSR in particular) for many years, yet remained almost unknown in the English-speaking world. He was seen only once in the United States in 1974 with the release of The Mad Adventures of Rabbi Jacob, which was nominated for a Golden Globe. According to a 1968 poll he was France's favourite actor. Funès played over 130 roles in film and over 100 roles on stage.
