Raised in poverty, Edith's magical voice and her passionate romances and friendships with the greatest names of the period - Yves Montand, Jean Cocteau, Charles Aznavour, Marlene Dietrich, Marcel Cerdan and others - made her a star all around the world. But in her audacious attempt to tame her tragic destiny, the Little Sparrow - her nickname - flew so high she could not fail to burn her wings. | Also Known As: | | | Production Status: | Released | | Genres: | Art/Foreign, Drama, Musical/Performing Arts and Biopic | | Running Time: | 2 hrs. 20 min. | | Release Date: | June 8th, 2007 (limited) | | MPAA Rating: | PG-13 for substance abuse, sexual content, brief nudity, language and thematic elements. | | Distributors: | New Line Cinema, Picturehouse | | Production Co.: | Songbird Pictures, Legende Enterprises, Okko Production, TF1 Films Productions | | U.S. Box Office: | $10,069,060 | | Produced in: | France liked this picture (movie), i suppose, because it makes me think of my wife who is from Lorraine in France/ a very ordinary girl, just like me a very ordinary guy/ this is why French people so much loved her Piaf, "the sparrow" around this time (1960's?) also there was an English movie named "What a shame sparrows can't sing"/ very human, très anglais and neither of them "fancy" _in those days "fancy"was strictly forbidden/ let us all hope and pray that today's pathos (which has its own value) finds its feet, and we can come to a slightly better organised world/ not quite so full of bullshit as we now have, True everything can be discussed _But few find their way in all the information being bandied around her singing style, her life attitude, also her mistakes/ people recognized that what was there was at least genuine/ times were a little less fancy then / people in Europe and the West of Europe no less than the others felt happy that the war was over and life could be picked up again/ Harry - Running Time: 2 hrs. 20 min.
