The best of the Pagnol films, 24 January 1999
10/10
Author: Brian Harris (bmhlc@sympatico.ca) from Hull, Canada

My favourite of all the Pagnol films, including the recent ones, due to the timeless, moving performance by the great Raimu as the lovelorn baker. The French stars of that period have never been surpassed as character actors, and for this film the writer was a great character author.
