what about PIAF with marion cotillard, or I'LL CRY TOMORROW (about Lillian
roth) with Susan Hayward? Ms. Hayward also did a kitschier one called WITH A
SONG IN MY HEART, about Jane Froman.
Leave us not forget LILLIAN RUSSELL, with Alice Faye, or SHINE ON HARVEST MOON
(about Nora Bayes) with Ann Sheridan.
PIAF gets my vote as the "best"...with LOVE ME OR LEAVE ME and FUNNY GIRL as
runner-ups.
