  • We Say...

    The French lingual is particularly suited to the croon, with its rounded overtones and chic Montmartre air; Chevalier made the winked eye international. He began his film career in 1908, and his hat-and-stick song-and-dance mated well with the advent of the talkies. "Louise," his best-known theme (at least until another "little" girl, Gigi, came along with "Thank Heaven for. . ."), is from his first US film, the 1929 Innocents of Paris; the follow-up, The Playboy of Paris (1930), left little doubt to the manner of his appeal. His approach might best be inscribed in another of his best-loved melodies, "Mon Cocktail D'Amour."
