Cohen Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 975 From: Forest Hills, NY, USA Registered: Sep 2001 posted 06-18-2007 09:15 PM                     Following our viewing of La Vie En Rose on opening day, my wife gifted me with a CD "Eternelle Edith Piaf" for Fodders' Day (along with a new version of Johnny Cash and June Carter at Folsom Prison.) The Edith Piaf CD sounds really great on my desktop, with its big Harman Kardon woofer and twin midrange speakers--more intimate and dynamic than in the living room through the Sony TV. That led me to youTube, where I found lots of her, from song clips from feature films in French and English to interviews in France and Germany to Gaumont newsreels from the 1950's and '60's. I was surprised to see how really tiny she was, and how accurately the actresses in this new film captured her youthful beauty and near-death physical decay and exhaustion. And yes, her hair was flaming red in her last days.  |  IP: Logged
