greetings to one and all. Could someone help with this.

I award a virtual glass of wine to anyone who recognises the film.

I hear:-

Je cherche tout simplement une preuve contre une personne dont le
moindre qu'on puisse dire ( ?) la vertu n'est pas sa qualité de ( ?)

I'd say the actor is probably Michel Bouquet.

I noticed a small mistake I didn't spot last evening in the part you
were not having any doubt on:


"dont le moindre qu'on puisse dire"

should be:
"dont le moins qu'on puisse dire"
(and so it is in the soundclip ;-)

Sorry for not catching that yesterday but I just heard the supper bell ringing :D)

thanks, Loki, for this correction. I've just checked my dictionary
and now I know (I think!) that moindre is the adjective and moins the
adverb. Hopefully I can use that to guide me in the future because my
cloth ears are unlikely to make the distinction.

- ah, good to see you've got your priorities right :-)
