Wish I could see this gem in letterbox, not pan and scan!
This is one of the sweetest movies ever made, without being “sickeningly sweet.” The characters are funny and interesting. All kinds of love are depicted here–parental love, romantic love, love between friends. The characters are very much products of the time and place they live in–Marseille, France, before World War 2. They are steeped in Catholic tradition, which contributes to their inner struggles at times.The problems of Fanny and Marius might seem dated, and yet the conflict between pleasing parents and following one’s heart remains relevant today for many young people. Father-son relationships are as complex today as they were then. Bullying parents may not be as plentiful, or as extreme, as they were in the time FANNY is set, but they still exist.
This is a beautiful film, the right mix of sentimentality and humor. I have only seen it on VHS in pan and scan. There is one place where Marius and Fanny are partially cropped to fit the TV screen, unfortunate but it does not spoil the film.
PUZZLE: I don’t know why gorgeous Horst Buchholz didn’t get more acclaim for this film from critics at the time or reviewers like me, on this site. He was a young German playing a young Frenchman. But no French or American actor could have played the part better. He expressed angst and love very realistically.
This is a great film for women and for men with a romantic streak, lovers of French stories and locales, and Caron or Boyer admirers. The wrap-up in the last quarter of the film is not perfect, but the film as a whole is a 10, and the lovely score will stay with you!

I hang my head in shame and declare that I’d never heard of this story before in any of its incarnations. I came across the dvd in a bargain bin and am delighted that I did – a real jewel. Take a handsome brooding young man, and dangle before him a pretty girl whom he’s known all his life. Add a rough and ready father and a charming old love rival and you have a good mixture. I thought this was the best thing I’d seen Maurice Chevalier in, and possibly Leslie Caron too. I don’t think I’ve seen Horst Buscholz before – possibly would have remembered! – but he’s good even if he overdoes the sulky brooding bit. I thoroughly enjoyed the ‘hat trick’ and the rascals who performed it. Charles Boyer can do no wrong and even a young Lionel Jeffries. Amazing cast. A thoroughly enjoyable, well-rounded piece of entertainment and for what it is worth, I think taking songs out of it gave it greater credibility and depth.
