Summary of Fanny
From legendary stage and screen director Joshua Logan (South Pacific, Picnic, Camelot) comes a timeless romance starring Leslie Caron (Gigi) as a young and beautiful girl in Marseille whose declaration of love for handsome Marius (Horst Buchholz) forces him to choose between a life with her and his father's plans to send him off to sea for five years. Also starring Maurice Chevalier (Love in the Afternoon) and Charles Boyer (Gaslight), this colorful classic features stunning cinematography by the legendary Jack Cardiff (The Red Shoes) and was nominated for five Academy Awards.Includes bonus CD containing the soundtrack.
Marcel 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
