In this first fully authorized biography of Maurice Chevalier to appear outside his native France, David Bret tells the full, colorful story of Chevalier's extaordinary life and career. In this fascinating book David Bret, does true justice to Chevalier's memory, twenty years after his death.
Fascinating book about a man I knew little about. His early life in the Paris music halls was an eye-opener, and his later life was very sad and lonely. It took me ages to read as I had to keep breaking off to Google the people mentioned.
