Edith and Marcel

Edith and Marcel is a French film carried out by Claude Lelouch left in 1983.

Synopsis

1947. The singer Edith Piaf and the boxer Marcel Cerdan are both at the top of their respective glories. Their meeting will give rise to a history of love full with passion, during two years, too short.

One could say and write that the only great love of Sparrow was that which it had for Cerdan. Indeed, whereas it put the foot at the clamp of the majority of her lovers who began in the song or the spectacle, it had discovered as a Marcel Cerdan a glory of the world sport. They had both same notoriety. Cerdan did not await anything it.

The film testifies to this beautiful story of love which will stop one night of October 1949, some share between Paris and New York near the Azores.

In parallel, Claude Lelouch, puts in scene, another history of love between a rather primary education prisoner of war incarnated by Jacques Villeret and his godmother of war quasi double of Edith but pertaining to a family of notable. This history there, also, finishes badly. Indeed, the maintained correspondence is skewed. The prisoner made write his letters by his lieutenant interpreted by Francis Huster. The truth when it appears is tragic.
