Wikipedia article"'Parlez-moi d'amour'" is a song written by Jean Lenoir[https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0502143/ Jean Lenoir] at IMDb in 1930. An English translation was written by Bruce Sievier (1894, Paris 1953) and is known as "Speak to Me of Love" or "Tell Me About Love". Lucienne Boyer was the first singer to record the song and she made it very popular in France, America, and the rest of the world. It was also recorded by Dalida in 1961, and it features her 1961 album, 'Garde-moi la dernire danse'. Caterina Valente recorded it in 1960, but she sang it with a very special timbre. Film soundtracksThe song is sung by Constance Bennett on a film set in 'What Price Hollywood?' (1932). It is heard in one of the early scenes of 'Casablanca' (1942), played on Sam's piano when Ingrid Bergman first appears in Rick's Cafe. It also appears in 'One Way Passage' (1932) as an orchestration on the soundtrack as a steward brings drinks to Frank McHugh and Aileen McMahon in their cabin. "Speak to Me of Love" was recorded by Barbra Streisand on her 1966 "Je M'Appelle Barbra" LP, using both French and English lyrics. A modern arrangement by Mark Isham is featured in the Alan Rudolph film, 'The Moderns' (1988); it is sung by CharlElie Couture. The song is featured prominently in the 1998 American film 'The Impostors' and in Woody Allen's 'Midnight in Paris' (2011).
