Scene From the Film 'The Compulsory Husband': The Actor Monty Banks Opening the Car Door for a Glamourous Female Actor, 1920s. 'Without popular British conceptions of general French loose behaviour, it is doubtful whether these productions could have survived at all. But to the British, a French woman, on the screen or off, was "ooh la-la, oui oui" and that was all'. From "Time To Remember - Came The Dawn", 1925 (Reel 3); peek at the British Film Industry of the 1920s - clips from great silent films and newsreels.
