Deb and worked on this today. We didn't complete it ourselves. But we had a really funny mistake - that I wish had been in the actual puzzle.
SPOILER ALERT
The theme of this puzzle is "Green" - there are also many French refererences. Anyway, we had 83 down as BERET. But then we decided that 90 across as SIGNALTO DRIVE FORWARD (for clue "Green Light")- but that would make the R in BERET a D. So we said, how about BIDET (for clue GREEN ____). That would make 44 across SPECIAL FORCES LATRINE. I just thought that was such a good pun it HAD to be right. The real answers are the mundane BERET, SPECIAL FORCES SOLDIER, and SIGNAL TO DRIVE YOUR CAR.
