France Yves Montand, Gerard Depardieu
Perhaps the finest adaptation of a novel by Marcel Pagnol. This wasn't taken from a personal reminiscence with its golden glow of nostalgia...it was a fictional treatment of the tightly closed and suspicious rural society of Provence which, coupled with base greed led to the suffering of a newcomer family and the eventual death of its patriarch.
First rate production in every respect. The story continued with the following year's Manon of the Spring.
