It maintained the play's decentralized, wandering storytelling and taste for naturalistic dialogue.

The second installment in the Marseilles Trilogy that takes you further into the ever complicated relationship between Marius & Fanny. Marius went with his desire for the sea & left Fanny alone & pregnant. The film chronicles her struggle & her immediate family & Marius'. Yet again the dialogue just glistens in this film & the characters (even side ones) are genuinely like able. You really sympathize for Fanny in this film & her struggle to do what is right, this film has terrific twist in the final chapter.

The second film in Allegret and Pagnol's trilogy, this film is just as utterly charming and emotional as the first. Resuming where the first one ended, Fanny must deal with the consequences of her romance with Marius, now off at sea.
