Fanny

USA 1961, 134 minutes
Dir. Joshua Logan
Genres: Drama, Classics / Romance

Feat. Leslie Caron, Maurice Chevalier, Charles Boyer, Horst Buchholz

Aroview: Adored melodrama set in Marseilles, starring Leslie Caron as the titular character who falls in love with a young sailor (Buchholz) but must grapple with his desire to leave for a life of adventure.

Gorgeous cinematography provides the requisite atmosphere, and the onscreen pairing of French romance icons Charles Boyer and Maurice Chevalier offers more than enough romantic allure for one picture. Adapted from the Broadway musical of the same name.

I find this review offensive! I don’t agree with this review. I agree with this review.
2 stars (Good Try) Horst Buchholz can't act and Chevalier has limitations which doesn't help this overlong screenplay. However, the big plus is that the cinematographer is the legendary Jack Cardiff. ~Tubbs
