I saw this film in France in 1990 and I was conquered by its beauty and the way its story gracefully flowed in front of the sumptuous background of beautiful Provence. Here is a film that relies on the simple pleasure of watching people living their happy life. pagnol's stories always were brilliant account of the Provence's charm and beauty. This is french cinema at its best! This film, together with its even better sequel "Le château de ma mère" is a concentrate of Provence for those who didn't have the time or the means to see it for real. Go rent it if you can find it in a repertoire video club! i saw it 3 times.
