Fanny

I just have to say that I love TCM.  This month they've been focusing on Oscar-nominated movies, calling it 31 days of Oscar.  And yesterday they showed one that I've never seen before, but really is a gem.  It's called "Fanny" and is based on a play by Marcel Pagnol (who also wrote "Jean de Florette", "Manon of the Spring", "My Father's Glory", and "My Mother's Castle", to name a few).  Starring Leslie Caron, Horst Buchholz, Maurice Chevalier and Charles Boyer, it's the story of a group of family and friends who live and work on the waterfront in Marseilles.  It's sweet, it's tender, and it gives Chevalier and Boyer probably their last great roles.  It has a lot to say about love, and what it really means to love someone.  I don't want to give away too many details and spoil it for you, but I highly recommend it and hope you'll add it to your list.
