| Description |
|
The story begins with the death of CZsar's (Raimu) best friend, old Panisse (Charpin), the town merchant who has devoted his wealth and love to the happiness of his young wife, Fanny (Orane Demazis), and their son (AndrZ FouchZ). After the death of Panisse, the son is told by his mother that his real father is the legendary Marius (Pierre Fresnay), CZsar's son, who left Marseilles 20 years earlier to travel the world. It is only through the efforts of young CZsar that Fanny and Marius, still desperately in love after 20 years, are finally reunited.
This dramatic and moving story, punctuated by witty dialogue, provides a poignant concluding chapter to Pagnol's famous trilogy.
With Raimu, Pierre Fresnay, Orane Demazis, Charpin |
