superb.................
this dvd set is superb. Allo Allo is set in France during WWII. The main character is Rene, played by Gordon Kaye, who owns a cafe, and occupies his days trying to balance getting along with the Germans, the French Resistence, the Communist Resistence, his wife, who thinks she can sing, his mother-in-law, British airmen, various onion-sellers, the Gestapo, and the lovely waitresses with whom he is having affairs.
To look at Rene, it's hard to believe that some women find him irresistible, something he has to work hard to hide from his wife Edith.
René's cafe, frequented by both the German military and the French resistance, is the focal point for the show.
René's a bit of a coward and is stuck in the middle, trying to humour both sides.
Hidden in the cafe are two English airmen who do not understand a word of French.
Other characters include Lt. Gruber, a gay German tank driver;
Otto Flick, the evil SS officer who is always outsmarted; and Engelbert von Smallhausen, his small sidekick.
René's not the only coward in town: Capt. Hans Geering and Col. Kurt von Strohm are constantly on the defensive along with Capt. Alberto Bertorelli of the Italian army, who has a medal for servicing Fiats. Much of the farce comes from Officer Crabtree, an English agent disguised as a French policeman with a poor grasp of 'Zee Fronch Linguige',
and from René's amorous waitresses, Mimi, Yvette, and Maria.
Most of the plots include planning the murder of the commanding German officer, General Erich von Klinkerhoffen, as well as the ownership of a painting called The Fallen Madonna a painting by von klump, that everybody would love to get their hands on.
well worth renting out. -

Black Book
- 15 Jan 2007
Maybe it's too early to say it, but I shouldn't be surprised if two of my top ten movies for 2007 turn out to be WWII dramas. Clint Eastwood's grim, compassionate Letters from Iwo Jima is released here Feb 23rd, and supplies a Japanese perspective on the same crucial battle featured in Flags of Our Fathers. I think it's his best film since Unforgiven, and maybe his best film period. But this week we get Black Book, a very different kind of war movie from Paul Verhoeven - the man who gave us... Read more
