I stand humbled....sorry... it is spelled with a C [as was pointed out
several times]....my French is lacking as we can all tell...
Eamon, it was a 60's film, 1964 in fact. You probably saw a digitaly
remastered version (there are several versions out there) ...anyways, it's
certainly a perfectly 60's french idealistic lovey-dovey tear jerker...this
film is really a masterpiece.

Written and Directed by Jacques Demy
Stars:[a very young] Catherine Deneuve, Jean Champion, Anne Vernon and
