* In many scenes in "
French in Action ", "Mireille" appears braless, in the same way that "Stéphanie," her character from the 1985 French film "À nous les garçons " [http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%80_nous_les_gar%C3%A7ons] does. This generated some controversy at the time and was condemned as "sexist" by feminists at Yale University.cite news |title=Campus Life: Yale; French Course, Termed Sexist, Will Be Revised |url=http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9C0CE4D71531F936A25757C0A966958260 |work=The New York Times |date=1990 -04-15 |accessdate=2007-09-26]
