Thanks- I missed that one on Monty Python-- best put down of the French came from "Murder By Death" spoof on film noir detective stuff from the 1950's-- Peter Sellers as Charlie Chan character, James Cocoa as Belgian detective Hercule Poirrot, and Peter Falk as a Sam Spade character. Mid-way through the movie, Falk tells Cocoa "Up Yours, Frenchie!" and Cocoa replies- "I'm not a Frenchie, I'm a Belgie!"-- And Truman Capote as Lionel Train, the fay host for the week-end romp in his castle-- and David Niven as Nick Charles exclaiming to wife Maggie Smith--when told they would be staying in a room with a Chinese flavor- "We're in the Wang Wing"--damn good stuff indeed.
