allaboutlana Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 I wasn't sure of this, because I don't think I've heard it - Mam'selle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownGoesFrazier Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Yes. I believe only the melody, not the lyrics, is used in the film------"A small cafe, mam'selle"...The melody is also used in Goulding's later MR. 880......Your turn.
