Re: Edith and the Kingpin

[Jerry Notaro]

Edith Piaf had a long affair with France's famous heavyweight boxing
champion Marcel Cerdan. A movie was made of their relationship called
Edith and Marcel. Here is a summary of the movie:


The world's most popular entertainer and Europe's greatest boxer: the
film puts the love affair of these two national heroes
against a backdrop of the end of World War II, hotel suites in
New York, transatlantic plane flights, Cerdan's loss of the
world middleweight title to Jake Lamotta, and Piaf's gift for
tragic love songs.
