- Having left behind his life as a gifted concert pianist, Charlie (Charles Aznavour) sees out his downcast days tinkling the ivories in a dingy Parisian jazz bar.

So very French! - Shoot the Pianist review by SoniaGee
An offbeat film, featuring Charles Aznavour. I watched it twice, (better than tv....)
It may--or may not be to your taste, but being a francophile...........
