To better describe - its like in the films when a male meets a woman. He removes his hat and sweeps down low, a very exagerated bow. The french probably did this also. What is the name of this type of bow? please help!

It is known as a low bow and the gesture with the hat is known as the doffing of the hat.

Last time I checked that IS a bow. It has been abbreviated in todays world because most men stopped wearing hats at ceremonies (if at all) and the bow became more of a formality then part of a ceremony.
