Tonight on Nightcaps, we are off to German occupied France, for a surprisingly lighthearted comedic romp through WWII in La Grande Vadrouille, also known as “Don’t Look Now…We’re Being Shot At!” You may not have seen or even heard of this film, but it truly isn’t one to miss. It’s got it all, including the following: A Turkish Bathhouse, An Inglorious Bastards style assassination attempt, a Pumpkin Throwing Nun, and the most well-mannered Nazis you’ll ever see. See famous French actor, Louis de Funès give a masterclass performance as an orchestra conductor, who has simply had enough. Or else, have you ever wanted to see a British officer passing convincingly as a woman in drag? Or a cross-eyed Nazi behind the barrel of a machine gun? If so, then, “take a stroll” with us as we discuss the film. And Make sure to take a shot every time Jon and Mark “Ooooh” and “Aaah” in response to Matt’s suave command of the French language. “Oh hon, hon, hon!”
