Pierre TCHERNIA talks with Edith PIAF and her impresario and friend Bruno COQUATRIX, at the singer’s home, during a series of concerts that she gives at the Olympia. Edith PIAF pays a sustained tribute to the director of the Olympia, stating that he is exceptional, kind, encouraging. "Even sick to death, we would come to do the show just to not disappoint him". In turn, Bruno COQUATRIX, praises Edith PIAF: "It is not easy not to be nice to her. She knows exactly what she wants to do. So anything is possible." She always stands up for those who work for her. She’s at the Olympia for nine weeks and it’s exceptional.
