La Grande Vadrouille ([la ɡʁɑ̃d vaˈdʁuj]; literally "The Great Stroll"; originally released in the United States as Don't Look Now... We're Being Shot At!) is a 1966 French comedy film about two ordinary Frenchmen helping the crew of a Royal Air Force bomber shot down over Paris make their way through German-occupied France to escape arrest.

For over forty years, until the release of Bienvenue chez les Ch'tis in 2008, La Grande Vadrouille was the most successful French film in France, topping the box office with over 17,200,000 cinema admissions. It remains the third most successful film ever in France, of any nationality, behind the 1997 version of Titanic and Bienvenue chez les Ch'tis, both of which were seen by over 20,000,000 cinemagoers.

Synopsis

Summer 1941. Over Nazi-occupied France, a Royal Air Force B17 Flying Fortress becomes lost after a mission and is shot down over Paris by German flak. The crew, Sir Reginald, Peter Cunningham and Alan MacIntosh, parachute out over the city, where they run into and are hidden by a house painter, Augustin Bouvet, and the grumbling conductor of the Opéra National de Paris, Stanislas Lefort. Involuntarily, Lefort and Bouvet get themselves tangled up in the manhunt against the aviators led by Wehrmacht Major Achbach as they help the airmen to escape to the free zone with the help of Resistance fighters and sympathisers.

Le colonel (ou général, ou capitaine) Crochet règne en maître sur un pays imaginaire d'Amérique du Sud (ou d'Europe du Sud, puisque les colonels grecs ou Salazar au Portugal comptent parmi les inspirations d'Oury) où déconfiture économique, privation des libertés et révoltes font partie du lot quotidien. Tout comme Somoza au Nicaragua ou encore le shah d’Iran, les américains finissent par le lâcher. Il est politique mort, sa popularité est, naturellement, au plus bas et les problèmes viennent même de sa propre famille : son fils le trahit et passe à la gauche révolutionnaire, tandis que Mme Crochet fomente une insurrection car elle a une liaison avec le chef de la police et veut l’installer à la place de son mari.
