French actor Gérard Depardieu's gone on trial – charged with sexually assaulting two women on a film shoot four years ago.
About 20 other women have also accused the 76-year-old of improper behaviour, but this is the first case to come to court.
He's the highest-profile figure to face accusations in the French response to the Me Too movement.
Paris Correspondent Catherine Field told Mike Hosking his has been a long time coming.
She says he's such a giant in the industry, so the courts have shied away despite previous allegations.
