Back in 1962 the French Foreign Legion had its elite units disbanded, its heavy weaponry (tanks, cannons, etc) taken away and was downsized to 8,000 men, a figure it keeps today. Wikipedia lists is at 7,700 men, and the vast majority of its force doesn't serve for more than 10 years, around 30-40% of the men it hires not finishing their first five-year contract (one of the highest levels of desertion of any military in the world). For comparison, the United States Marine Corps, the smallest foreign-deployable branch of the US military, is 200,000 men strong.
The Academy Award for Best Picture of 1971 went to "The French Connection."

Kline: I studied French all through high school and junior high school and a year of college but couldn't speak it because you don't - unless you learn to speak it. I learned to read it and learned the grammar, which was a great kind of foundation. But for (the 1995 film) "French Kiss," I had to take lessons with a professor, and we only spoke French, and that's where I really began to learn to speak French with some fluency ... I speak very little French in the movie ("French Kiss"), but it kind of jump-started my learning to speak it, and then this was another occasion to - not perfect - but to go up a notch. http://www.deseretnews.com/article/700122938/Kevin-Kline-picks-up-French-chess-for-Queen-to-Play.html
