I thought I saw them all as a child, but it seems I missed one. And even while watching it for the first time I was pretty much bored. There are few interesting moments, like homage to "West Side Story" and scenes with black cab driver, but overall it's not even close to the first movie. Seems forced and unconvincing...5/10

like entire series. not only for the classic ingredients of the series, but for the cultural clash , for the reference to West Side Story, for the poor Cruchot looking for his daughter, for the presence of Cruchot in Chinese Town .and for the scene about French identity. the specificity of series, long chain of gags, fine humor and nice situations are defined by the air of "60's. and this represents, maybe, the most important virtue of this film. the atmosphere, the clothes, the humor, all as parts of a period who, seen from ours, impose a form of nostalgia.

...and not the worst.There are good reasons to watch it: -It was the time of "the France" a luxury liner ,where a lot of of the action takes place.-Geneviève Grad is well cast as De Funès's daughter .She is very anxious to accompany her dear dad to New-York but as she is not invited ,she 's a stowaway on the ship .-Her father "seems " to see her sometimes ,but he will never realize she 's been with him all along the way.-On the streets of the Big Apple,there's a funny spoof on "West Side Story".Jean Girault was no genius.But his movie is quite entertaining.

The gendarme-series are all my favourites. This story is taking place in New York where there's is hold an international police-conference. Cruchot is searching for his daughter, who is matched up by a tabloidreporter with an Italian policeman. Hilarious are the chases in the cab and at a building construction. A tribute to the Westside story is the scene at the playground, where Cruchot gets involved with some streetgangs. Funes is as always the eyecatcher, but his daughter played by the lovely Genieviève Grad is also very funny. A typical European sixties comedy, with some Hollywood elements. 4 out of 5.
