That's too bad you didn't get to see it. Maybe we can rent it sometime together.
When I was in Paris last month, I went to the Pere LaChaise cemetery. Among many famous people from all walks of life (Jim Morrison, Oscar Wilde, Chopin), the grave "most-covered-in-flowers" from all the rest was Edith Piaf's grave. When I happened upon it, the lady-whose-job-it-is-to-handle the-excessive-amount-of-flowers was on hand, answering questions from the mass of people who happened by.
It's strange how in a cemetery the size of many city blocks that some graves always had a crowd around them. Hers was by far the most crowded.
