A-1 to A-28
Most French Scopitones found in the U.S. were printed in Eastmancolor and, as a result, are now in various stages of turning red. French prints of the same films are often on Kodak Safety stock, and tend to have a little better color, although they still fade.
The following list of French-made films, known as the A-series for films distributed in the U.S. and as the CA-series in France, appears to be complete, although other French films for which I have no catalog number appear in the list of "Other Scopitones (Series Number Unknown)." If you know the catalog number for any of those films, please let me know. The parenthetical titles are rough English translations of the French titles or, in some instances, the name of the English-language version of the song. Corrections are welcome!
