This film (correct spelling : Les Bidasses aux grandes man?uvres) has nothing to do there. It's a military farce directed by Rapha?l Delpard in 1981. Brigitte Lahaie does not star in this turkey. See her filmography at IMDb and "Les Gens du cin?ma", a very useful site as far as French or Belgian actors are concerned.
I really don't know how to translate the word "bidasse", meaning an ordinary French soldier.

Dear jj;
I know very well where the word "bidasse" comes from. I was just asking myself how to translate it into English. Maybe "Tommy" ? But, let's just put an end to this discussion, which is certainly of little interest to the mainly english speaking members of this forum. And, by the way, thank you for all the wonderful pictures you gave us.
