Conversational French!
At the start of Innocents in Paris (1952), British tourists are arriving at Paris Airport and the wonderful Margaret Rutherford is listening to a Frenchman talking ten to the dozen...
'Je ne compris pas', she says, 'You do not speak conversational French - what is the GOOD of it?'.
