This is for you Nick (who lived in France and was once married to a 'native') to engage you a little whilst missing your loving 'new' wife whilst she is away for a few days.
This is not a well-produced film but it does go some way to telling us all about the tragic life of one Edith Piaf who, a bit like the recently departed Charles Aznavour - was something of a French national treasure - some would say - The French National Treasure (who died in 1963). We're coming up, in a few days, to the 55th. anniversary of her death and this film was made to commemorate the 50th. anniversary.
Were you living there then Nick? I doubt it - I rather think maybe you were then in Oz.
