César runs a bar along Marseilles' port, assisted by his 23-year-old son, Marius. Colorful characters abound--M. Panisse, an aging widower and prosperous sail maker; Honorine, a fishmonger with a sidewalk stall near the bar; her daughter, Fanny, who helps her sell cockles; and, various old salts. Friends since childhood, Fanny and Marius love each other, but Marius has a secret wanderlust--every ship's whistle stirs a longing for foreign lands. When M. Panisse seeks Fanny's hand in marriage and when a departing clipper needs a deckhand, Marius and Fanny must decide who and what they love most. César, with his generous, comic spirit, tries to guide his son.
Leave your thoughts about Marius.
| Village VoiceFarran Smith NehmePagnol gives the illusion of naturalism through the vivid energy and affection of his characters. |
| User ReviewPrivate UI love "le midi" and in this movie (and its companions Fanny and Cesar) I can smell it, hear it, taste it. Raimu is the best. |
| User ReviewSophie GGénial ! C'est plein de soleil, de poésie, de burlesque de sensibilité... un chef-d'oeuvre |
| User ReviewNathalie Rplease check this trilogy up, beautiful in all possible ways ... |
| User ReviewLaurent MBon film français comme on n'en fait plus. |
| User ReviewBruno LWonderful. Can't watch the other two in the trilogy. |
| User ReviewAben RI've only seen this three times. Not enough! |
| User ReviewLiliane SStunning! I can watch it over and over again, and I still cry every time. |
| User ReviewCheryl AAn older movie, but rich with culture, a complex father / son relationship, and sacrifices made for true love. I liked it. |
| User ReviewRyan MA pretty cliche tale, all told, but as a Francophile I couldn't help but enjoy it. Korda and Pagnol do a wonderful job conjuring up a romantic, provincial atmosphere for their Marseilles. Raimu is fantastic as well. (The leading man and lady, less so.) Looking forward to the other two in this trilogy. |
