A lot of scenes and dialogue were improvised whilst shooting, with a lot of participation from the actors. The scene in which Mona draws a portrait of Tamsin on the wall of her room was entirely improvised - during Pawlikowski's traveling together with Press, he discovered that she used to do a lot of drawing while she was thinking, so he decided to integrate it into the movie and made a scene out of it.
Tamsin has clearly decided to make Édith Piaf's life even more dramatic than it was. Marcel Cerdan, the boxer, wasn't Piaf's husband. He was her lover, and married, but nonetheless the love of her life. He died in a plane crash and she never recovered from his death. She never killed anyone, let alone with a fork.
Pawlikowski felt Emily Blunt was the perfect choice for Tamsin and that the chemistry between Press and Blunt was perfect right from the start.
The whole shoot was done on location in Todmorden during the hottest summer Yorkshire had seen in 50 years.
Pawel Pawlikowski found it difficult casting the two female leads and the overall casting procedure took 8 months.
"Tamsin: If you leave me, I'll kill you. Mona: If you leave me, I'll kill you... and then I'll kill myself."
"Tamsin: This is Edith Piaf. I just adore her. She was this marvellous Parisian woman who had such a wonderfully tragic life. She was married 3 times & each husband died in mysterious circumstances. The last one was a boxing champion and she killed him with a fork. She didn't even go to prison because in France crimes of passion are forgiven."
