This is one of the few films with Louis de Funès that I'd never seen before. Looks like I didn't miss much because apart from the great music, a specific track in particular, it's not a great comedy, and it's just a series of gags, some of which did make me laugh. It's comforting to know that the runtime is otherwise quite short.

I would have to betray my principles and beliefs if I gave The Band more than two stars, because I constantly emphasize the importance of the script, and even by the standards of a musical and a light summer comedy for the widest audience, this film has a script that is too simple and naive. However, when I rewatched the comedy after many years, it didn't end in agony and it was a relatively enjoyable moment with an aging comedian who found himself late in life and managed to thrill the crowds with his mimicry and energy. Unfortunately, that's the only thing that carries the film. True, the charm of the dancers and costumes from the late '60s is not completely dismissible either... The film is perhaps interesting in that it was the most serious attempt by Louis de Funès' father to launch his son Olivier's film career. Well, he didn't succeed, and his son soon went in a different direction. The Band is good for a watch on a late evening or a boring rainy afternoon, and it undoubtedly has its value for both older folks and nostalgics. Overall impression: 45%.

The Band does not get old even on repeated viewings and every time it puts a smile on my face, which is of course (as always) due to Louis de Funès, who is perfect for the role of a caring and somewhat crazy choreographer taking care of his "kids". The captivating storytelling or the frantic tap-tapping or the memorable scenes like the "diet" dinner (and weigh-ins) are always guaranteed to entertain.
