The French Boxer who mocked Hitler - "Ace of Aces" Movie Review

[@maximearnan9613]

An all time classic in France, one of my favourites when I was a kid!

[@roadstarman58]

I remember seeing a movie on TBS once back in the 80's called Appointment with Venus. It centered around a prize cow in the German occupied Channel Islands. It starred David Niven.

Thank´s Johnny! That brings memory's....

A great movie indeed, thank you Johnny. And I wonder who wouldn't like Belmondo, an amazing actor and legend we lost not so long ago. I heard he was a very nice guy and incredibly funny in real life. You probably already watched it but I'd love to see a review of the movie "Army of Shadows", one of my favorite WW2 movie.

oh that's a good one! I should!

Talking about light hearted WW2, movies, I watched JoJo Rabbit recently. I felt it was like Inglorious B@stards on LSD. Thanks for the retrospective review of this film, I will check it out. 👍

I really like the friendship between the two pilots, great movie.

[@aliendeathpunch7044]

I do enjoy light hearted historical and political comedies or satires. This I must watch.

My grandfather would of liked this movie. I wasn’t aware of it until now. He enjoyed some of these movies that were silly and mocked the Germans. I still think Patton was his favorite. He never really said. That aside though, I can picture him laughing at this.

Heart warming.

CooL Jean-Paul Belmondo 👍

[@WilliamAPBodie]

Ps: We love him to here in Germany. even Louis de Funès 😀

[@rolfagten857]

Le morfalous is also a nice WW2 comedy with Jean Paul Belmondo.

[@WilliamAPBodie]

@@rolfagten857 It's getting harder and harder to get them on DVD 😞

[@mhpjii]

What interests me are Russian and European films about WW2 with English subtitles. I cannot figure out why movie distributors don't recognize the international market for this on YT or elsewhere. Any thoughts, Johnny?

[@rolfagten857]

Günter Meisner who played Hitler in the 1936 scenes was a radio operator with the German paratroopers during the Second World War. He participated in many war films, but also in Willy Wonka, the 1971 version.

[@nonostan91]

another movie from the same director and with the same actors is "les morfalous" which tells the story of legionaries in north africa who must protect a bank full of gold from the germans

[@warpartyattheoutpost4987]

Shirley, you must be joking.

[@JohnnyJohnsonHistory]

6ft, mustache.... that's a pretty big mustache.

[@dinnertime4you]

Cool

[@stefanebert7171]

Moin Dieu! This kind of embarressing for the French! I would not....

[@AttackTheGasStation1]

Nothing embarrasing. It’s a cool movie.
