Overview

In this spoof of World War II, René Artois runs a café in German-occupied France. He always seems to have his hands full: he's having affairs with most of his waitresses, he's keeping his wife happy, he's trying to please the German soldiers who frequent his café, and he's running a major underground operation for the Resistance.
