Words can't do justice to that. Thank you.

My friend, who had spent a lot of time in Paris, and loved it, had La Vie en Rose sung by Edith played at her funeral. They both died much too young.

Does anyone know where can I find a documentary titled EDITH PIAF, directed by Peter Graham in 1967?
I saw it in 1971 and it seems to have disapeared and… forgotten.
Even IMDB not mentions this documentary.
Thanks
What a pity, the
INTERNET ARCHIVE
doesn't have it either, which is usually a good source for such specialties.

Leastwise the Movie Poster still exists.
Wikipedia says it's from 1968…the seller stays with 1967.

Perhaps it's better that I cannot watch it.
My opinion about Piaf's character isn't the highest.
A good read about the director.

Veggies may skip the included video.

I remember that special it was fantastic, it had rememberences by Charles Aznavour & Yves Montand.

I wonder if this is the same documentary that I'm thinking of. I first saw it in the early '80's. It was called "Edith Piaf: I Regret Nothing." It was shown twice on American Public Television and there was even a soundtrack album of songs heard in the film released. I recall that it contained a great deal of footage that I haven't seen since. Unfortunately, I don't recall who the director was.
