One by one, the inhabitants of a provincial French village depart, until only the poacher Panturle remains. He dreams of finding a wife and bringing the village back to life. One day, the village is visited by a travelling knife-grinder, Gédémus, and a young woman, Arsule, whom he treats as a slave. Is Panturle’s dream about to become reality?

Oh wow, been looking for this one forever! Can’t thank you enough, Jon!
Terribly hard to find this Marcel Pagnol film with eng subs. You are a Prince, Jon!
Jon, Many thanks for filling this request. I’ve been looking for this with english subs for over twenty years
A magnificent film in a gorgeous restoration. What a treat to see this!
A wonderful celebration of peace and the regenerating power of love.. The print is without a blemish and the Honneger score is lovely.I had not seen the pre-war Fernandel before and he was simply terrific. This is the best film I have seen so far among your treasures. Many,many thanks
