Select CC to get auto-generated French subtitles, then select Settings (the wheel symbol) to auto-translate those subs to English. With the images you'll get the gist of what's being said at least 50% of the time. The doc closes with scenes from one of Buster Keaton's most brilliant films, my best of 1924, Sherlock Jr. Gotta love that.
