Hello Brolly
Okay, here’s a superficial smart-ass take on this entry: We’re in a French port, there’s a guy who loves a gal and a gal who loves him right back, arguably she loves him just a tad more than he loves her. He goes away for a couple of years but not without leaving her pregnant. There’s an older guy, richer guy in love with her for whom until now she had no time. She levels about her situation and he marries her anyway and raises the child as his own. Now, hands up all those who said ‘That’s “Marius” by Marcel Pagnol, the first part of his great trilogy’. While you’re wiping the egg off your faces I’ll try a less frivolous take. IF Pagnol had been born in the North instead of the South of France it’s just feasible that he may have written a story set in the Northern French port of Cherbourg, called his male protagonist Guy and not Marius, had him conscripted into the army for his obligatory two years National Service spent in Algeria and called his female protagonist Genvieve instead of Fanny. Jacques Demy may well have had Marius in mind albeit subconsciously when he wrote and directed The Umbrellas Of Cherbourg – and it was, incidentally, just about the same time that Harold Rome wrote the words and music for a condensed and musical version of Pagnol’s trilogy which, as ‘Fanny’ was produced on Broadway by David Merrick – but nobody creates in a vacuum and Demy has come up with a charming, not to say enchanting movie. How referential it actually is can be left to the quasi-academic pseuds but it might be worth noting in passing Demy’s self-referential nod to his earlier equally romantic movie ‘Lola’ in which the character of Roland Cossard (played here by the same actor, Marc Michel) was the protagonist in love with Anouk Aimee’s eponymous Lola, the background music was also by Michel Legrand whose main love theme turns up again here. Younger viewers will most likely be unaware of the two half-decent lyrics that were written for the two main themes of Umbrellas and enjoyed no little success as respectively ‘I Will Wait For You’ and ‘Watch What Happens’ and those who DO remember will marvel at the banality of Demy’s original words – ‘lyrics’ may be stretching it. It might be interesting to discover which came first, Demy’s pedestrian words or Legrand’s lush melodies. It’s fun at that to imagine Legrand, faced with something like ‘pass the salt’, ‘it looks like a nice day’, ‘the girls are wearing their hair shorter this year’, etc and coming up with those gorgeous melodies (I’d rather not dwell on the opposite). Ultimately this is a movie it’s hard not to like, from the muted pastels, reminiscent of Les Grands Manouvres, to the Audrey Hepburn-lite sub-Givenchy outfits worn by Deneuve and Ann Vernon as her mother. Cynics may say that it’s just one large chocolate-box full of soft centres and they’d have a point but it’s not too long and it does offer both entertainment and escape.
