What happens

Fanny is a 1932 French romantic drama film directed by Marc Allégret and starring Raimu, Pierre Fresnay, Orane Demazis, Fernand Charpin, and Alida Rouffe. Based on the 1931 play of the same name by Marcel Pagnol, it is the second part of the Marseille Trilogy, which began with Marius (1931) and concluded with César (1936). The film was shot both at the Billancourt Studios in Paris and on location in Marseille, with sets designed by the art director Gabriel Scognamillo. Like Marius, Fanny was a box office success in France and is still considered a classic of French cinema. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
