Dalida

One good scene-the suicide scene, she made it look so beautiful. You are right who ever you are when you said that the actress was a far cry from Dalida but she did give it her best and you get some sense of this beautiful lovely creature that went by too fast like a comet and died. The early Egyptian scenes were interesting and I LOVED the scene in her home town that portrayed all her neighbors and friends dancing to a small 45 player on the unpaved streets of that suburb. The long dialog scenes were a bit of a drag and I wish they would have shown her winning Miss Egypt in 1955 which is the event that propelled her to Europe and super stardom as well...but if you love Dalida as I do you will love this film. Growing up in Israel in the 60's she dominated the charts and has found a warm cosy corner in my heart Toby Ross
