The irony in their story is that the night of love making which is about to follow this scene brings about the very result (the child) that pushes her to marry the jeweler in Guy's absence. The lovers would have stayed true to each other if not for the compelling situation of an unanticipated pregnancy when the father was in the army and in harm's way. It is like a Greek or Shakespearean tragedy in which one isolated act transforms the outcome of the drama.

I adore this movie and the music of the eternal Michel Legrand, but to be fair, I don't think MM; Boublil et Schönberg, authors of Les Mis, Abbacadabra, Miss Saigon, Marguerite, La Révolution Française, etc, need ever fear comparison with ANYONE. They know how it is done.

AH Nino Castelnuovo qu'il etait si bo!

the genius of Michel Legrand married with perfect film making. The way that the key changes ratchet up the emotion to an almost orgasmic pitch. A masterpiece of musical operatic writing.Thank you Mr. Legrand.

Les Mis, take note, this is how it's done.

i hate this movie...not because it's an awful film, but because my romantic notions are upset :( this is what happens when you listen to logic and other people, not your own heart....you lose your true love

impossible to say-- the mom's store was not doing well and they needed the money.

The magic of Cinema, right there.
