sergebroomLast night, we decided that we didn’t care about watching the Terminator TV series, in spite of Summer Glau being in it. Instead we popped in the DVD of La vie en rose. I learned a lot more about Edith Piaf than I had known before. Mind you, as a biopic, it was as superficial as anything that American TV has dished out, the main difference being that it had subtitles. Still, I found it entertaining. It felt weird though for me to hear songs that were part of the normal fare of radio broadcasting when I was growing up in Québec City.
And now, a different kind of singing… A TV broadcast from 1955 where Noel Coward sings Mad Dogs and Englishmen...
