C'est Si Bon was the trigger for another of those "Thank
heaven for Google" moments. I'm sure you have them at least a few
times a week, when you see a reference, know you know it but don't
know why, and then praise the powers of the Internet for the ability
to track it down so quickly and easily. This was one of mine; I knew
I'd heard Arielle Dombasle's name before but had no idea what the
context might be. I probably should have thought "actress" first,
which would have saved a stop at Google on the way to
IMDB. But no matter; in a few
seconds I was skimming Ms. Dombasle's filmography for something,
anything, that would explain that little tendril of memory that was
tickling. Eventually I found it; a truly awful TV movie called
Lace.
Which is famous largely for one truly wonderful line: "Which one
of you bitches is my mother?". And what's even more embarrassing
than knowing that line is that I even
remember the answer.
Which has nothing to do with this album by the American-born Dombasle,
who sings mostly faux-French songs with her excellently acquired
French accent. And which is rather fun, in a genuinely faux-French
sort of way.
