What it’s about. As soon as they arrive at the barracks, the new contingent reveals some characters who will give their officers a hard time. There is the handsome, resourceful man, the technocrat in love, the bootlicker, the "Jamaican" who only moves to music, the shortsighted man... and all the others. Sometimes to see the nurse undress, sometimes to arrange an appointment with a fiancée, sometimes to cuckold the obtuse non-commissioned officer whose wife is volcanic, sometimes to have a free lunch in a great restaurant, the handsome man invariably deploys a wealth of cunning. And each time it is the colonel's servile driver who gets caught instead of him.

Who’s in it. Les surdoués de la première compagnie stars Bernard Lavalette as Le colonel Varalin, Philippe Brizard as L'adjudant-chef Colin, Ariane Carletti as Céline and Hubert Deschamps as Le médecin-major, among others.
