Yul Brynner presents Best Foreign Language Film to François Truffaut for Day for Night at the 46th Academy Awards in 1974.
Merci beaucoup. I need Gene Kelly.* I am very happy because... because why? Because "Day for Night" is a film about show people. You are, all of you, movie people. Because [of] that I think this prize is yours. But if you agree with me I will keep it for you, alright? Thank you.
* Earlier in the show Gene Kelly translated the acceptance speech of the French-speaking Henri Langlois.
