"Bonne chance" is French for "Good luck." I don't recognize the movie from any of the clues.

Thank you SaintGeorge and if you lived in the Columbus Ohio area right this second you would not be breathing.
(ohio and texas)
I watched the game here until Ohio State blew it near the end. I'm a Big Ten boy myself. Fortunately, MY alma mater, Illinois, won its game handily. (Though, in all fairness, their opponent wasn't of the calibre of UT.)
You would certainly understand this scenario. Around these parts you could cause a prim and proper woman to hit you with her purse if you dare speak against the Buckeyes. It's almost like Packer fans. Well I take that back, no one is like Packer fans. :)--> And if you want to get anyone riled up around here just mention that ingrate Maurice Clarett.
I was in the grocery store yesterday and a group of 4 men where shopping and I happened to be reading a label when I overheard them make up a menu and then divide and conquer on the task. They were almost huddle positioned as they confirmed yes we have it all covered and off they went. There is this thing here about the Bucks. It's almost a religious experience for many people here.
I had the windows opened in the house so I could hear the neighborhood. And there are certain sounds you hear and you could know how the game was going without watching it. In fact unbeknownst to someone I was speaking to I had the game on but muted and could tell what was going on without the sound. I did wonder why this person didn't ask me why on occasion would I inappropriately scream.
When we lose there is a silence, almost like being in the eye of a storm. All the joy that accompanies this same neighborhood when we have won is so gone you feel it. :(-->
And being prepared for a game is of utmost importance. Hubby was wearing his Buckeye T-Shirt on Friday and one of the neighbors said you're going to go home and wash that right! So the next day of course I see in the latter part of the day when all work was done this shirt show back up on him along with the appropriate hat. I mean you dress for the game in this neighborhood. :)-->
I'm not that into the game or even the sport but I must admit I have this need to be knowing how we're doing during it. It seems to be in the air best I can tell.
Speaking of Illinois teams when we first moved here hubby had on one of their T-Shirts when this same neighbor said you don't want to be wearing that outside the cul-de-sac.
Greer Garson's favorite movie (or so says The Internet Movie Database). I didn't know Ronald Coleman had fought in WWI! I guess that's not all the surprising, just not the persona he projected...
Another tidbit about music though (I only bring this up because I heard this song on the radio a day or so ago, in a moment when I was feeling particularly bleak, and it really turned me around).
I was pretty tired of the normal Rock & Roll/Disco Duck crap being aired on the radio back in the mid 70's when this album came out. It was instrumental (no pun intended) in turning me into a jazz fanatic...
Ah! So you're an old movie fan?? GREAT!! So am I!! Now here's a clip for you from one of my favorite movies.. Click HERE! and tell me if the actor sounds familiar. If you want bonus points... WHAT movie is it from?? I'll give you this much.. Basil Rathbone (remember him from the as Sherlock Holmes?) played a bad guy in it. Actually.. Basil USUALLY played bad guys and he was SO GOOD at them, too! Did you ever see Errol Flynn's Robin Hood?? So many movies..
I'm like you.. I don't remember Agent Smart doing any Ronald Colman imitations either. But then.. back when I was watching Get Smart I had no idea who Ronald Colman was. Hiway29 is a good addition to our thread here as he knows a LOT of this stuff.
Oh, sorry.. I didn't know you wanted the name just yet. Random Harvest but I never saw it. Did my clip (HERE!) sound familiar?? That's OK.. I can wait until tonight. ;)-->

Ala,
Once in awhile you say some word that in your country means something and in ours means something else. I'm guessing this applies in your 3rd clue.

Chatty,
I meant: 3) the lead male role in the movie...was called SMITHY (in the movie). That is not the actor's real name.
Does that make sense?

And I still don't know the film, boob or not!

"Birdland" is THE cut to listen to. What a great piece of music...

Don Adams did a dead on impression of Coleman in a Get Smart episode where he impersonated the 'King of Coronia".
He would also pull it out at odd moments in the series when he was trying to be especially 'dashing'.
