Film Review
The second film in Pagnol’s celebrated Marius-Fanny-César trilogy follows on directly
from the first film. Now it is the turn of Orane Demazis to take centre-stage in
an emotionally charged and moving portrayal of a pregnant woman who has to choose between
fidelity to the man she loves and the obligations of social propriety.
This touching romantic tale is typical Pagnol, replete with colourful characters and engaging drama, set in the environs of his beloved Provence. © James Travers 2001 Write a review for this film... User Comments
