The Umbrellas of Cherbourg

A key event in the sung-through musical by director Jacques Demy, cash-strapped shop-owner Madame Emery (Anne Vernon), with daughter Genevieve (Catherine Deneuve) seeks help from a jeweler (Harald Wolff) and meets Cassard (Marc Michel), in The Umbrellas Of Cherbourg, 1964.

Director Jacques Demy's improbable on location opening begins to suggest the visual style, and provides the first sample of Michel Legrand's international hit theme, in the one-of-a-kind musical that made Catherine Deneuve a star, The Umbrellas Of Cherbourg, 1964.

On location at the Normandy title-town, teen Genevieve (Catherine Deneuve) with boyfriend Guy (Nino Castelnuovo), then at work with mother (Anne Vernon), music by Michel Legrand, lyrics by director Jacques Demy, in the acclaimed sung-through musical The Umbrellas Of Cherbourg, 1964.

Young couple Guy (Nino Castelnuovo) and Genevieve (Catherine Deneuve) have just learned he must leave for two years national service, her mother (Anne Vernon) not so moved, in the "recitative" musical by director Jacques Demy and composer Michel Legrand, The Umbrellas Of Cherbourg, 1964.
