Movie Reviews of Fanny
Movie Review: June Nolen author of "In Reverse Time"
Summary: 5 Stars
I first saw this picture in the seventies probably on TV. It haunted me for years trying to remember the title. So when I happened across it on TCM I was delighted and ordered it right away. It was just as I remembered it. A sweet and simple love story between a young girl and a young man who wanted more in his life. Of course the young girl lets him go and he finds that life outside of his hometown isn't as exciting as he had pictured. The characters are very young and make mistakes but the simplicity in their actions and hearts keeps you rooting for them. And as in most old movies there is a happy ending! I still love this movie. It makes me smile!
Summary of Fanny
Studio: Image Entertainment Release Date: 06/17/2008 Run time: 134 minutesMarcel Pagnol's Marseilles Trilogy was adapted into a Broadway musical in the mid-'50s; a few years later, that show's producer, Joshua Logan, turned it into a film... without the songs. Although it pales in comparison to the French trilogy, Fanny captures the original's bittersweet mix of romance and regret. Curiously, it retains the slightly stagy quality of an adapted musical. Charles Boyer and Maurice Chevalier revel in their juicy autumnal roles, and--thanks to Logan's fondness for rapturous close-ups--Leslie Caron never looked more beautiful. Harold Rome's Broadway score plays underneath many scenes (without the lyrics, that is), but what gives the movie its lilt is the color photography by the great Jack Cardiff. The Marseilles waterfront, where Boyer's caf? is scenically located, becomes a wonderfully bustling backdrop for the funny/sad story. Fanny was nominated for five Oscars, including best picture, but seems mostly forgotten today, and ready for rediscovery by romantics. --Robert Horton
