Trivia and Quotes

Quotes

Guy Foucher: Are you in mourning? Geneviève Emery: Mother died last autumn. Guy Foucher: What did you name her? Geneviève Emery: Francoise. She`s a lot like you. Do you want to see her? Guy Foucher: I think you can go.

Madeleine: Poor Elise. There will be nothing left of her. Guy Foucher: It`s the opposite. She will be part of everything we do. Madeleine: Are you happy? Guy Foucher: Very happy, and it`s all thanks to you, Madeleine.

Guy Foucher: You have no family. Don`t you want to stay here? Madeleine: What will I do? Guy Foucher: You`ll help me. I`ll be lonely. Madeleine: You don`t need anyone. Guy Foucher: I need you, Madeleine. Madeleine: Why don`t you just say you don`t like being alone? I don`t see what I could do. I have no influence over you. Guy Foucher: That`s not true. Madeleine: I don`t like what you`ve become. You hang around with nothing to do. You`re sad and bitter.

Guy Foucher: Why didn`t you tell me? Aunt Élise: I didn`t want to say anything. I thought you knew. You didn`t suspect. Guy Foucher: Of course, over the last few months. Her letters were not the same. She didn`t answer my questions. She was writing without conviction. But marrying another man! I thought she was mad at me.

Roland Cassard: We`ll raise this child together. He`ll be ours. Please accept, Genevieve. I don`t want to upset you. I love you, Genevieve.

Geneviève Emery: Roland Cassart will not want to marry me when he sees I`ve been knocked-up. Madame Emery: Watch your language! Geneviève Emery: Since neither you nor I had the courage to tell him the truth, now at least it will show. Do you believe he`ll take me like this? If he refuses me as I am, it shows that he never had deep feelings for me.

Madame Emery: I saw the cutest little rompers at the department store. Geneviève Emery: Admit that you`re pleased. Madame Emery: I`d be more pleased if this baby had a father, and you had a husband. Geneviève Emery: Guy will come back. Madame Emery: Guy or someone else. Geneviève Emery: Absence is a funny thing. I feel like Guy left years ago. I look at this photo, and I forget what he really looks like. When I think of him, it`s this photo that I see.

Madame Emery: Roland Cassart asked for your hand in marriage. Geneviève Emery: I heard. You didn`t tell him I`m pregnant. Madame Emery: I did not dare tell him.

Geneviève Emery: I`m pregnant, Mother. Madame Emery: Pregnant by Guy? This is horrible! How is it possible? Geneviève Emery: Well, just like with everybody. Madame Emery: Don`t joke. This is serious. What are we going to do? Geneviève Emery: What do you mean? Madame Emery: What are we going to do with the child? Geneviève Emery: Raise it. Madame Emery: What are we going to say? Geneviève Emery: To who? Madame Emery: Our friends, our neighbors! Geneviève Emery: We have no friends, and you never speak to the neighbors. Madame Emery: And Roland Cassart is coming to dinner tonight! Geneviève Emery: You don`t need to tell him.

Madame Emery: There`s no reason for sulking. You`re tired, but you`re not dying. Geneviève Emery: It`s not my weariness that saddens me. It`s his silence. Guy left just two months ago. He only wrote me once. Madame Emery: Don`t start that again. Geneviève Emery: If I knew where he was, I could write to him. I`m sure they`ve sent him someplace dangerous where he`s risking his life.

Madame Emery: Mr. Cassard came this evening. He was sorry he missed you. I`m sure he could give you some advice. Geneviève Emery: I can do without his advice. Madame Emery: You`re wrong. For me, he is the kind of man... Geneviève Emery: Don`t bother me with his kind. Madame Emery: You look terrible. Geneviève Emery: Leave me alone, Mother.

Madame Emery: Where were you? Geneviève Emery: With Guy. Madame Emery: What were you doing? Geneviève Emery: Mother, he`s leaving. He`ll be away for two years. I can`t live without him. I`ll die. Madame Emery: Stop crying. Look at me. People only die of love in movies.

Guy Foucher: I got drafted this morning, and I`ll be away for two years. We`ll talk about marriage later. With the war in Algeria, it will be a long time before I can come back. Geneviève Emery: But I would never be able to live without you!

Roland Cassard: I`ve just seen Miss Genevieve. I would have liked... Madame Emery: She`s gone out. The life we lead here is so sad for a young girl. This dreary shop. She`s bored, and I fear she`ll become depressed. Would you like some tea? Roland Cassard: With pleasure. Madame Emery: We`ve just had a terrible fight about you. Roland Cassard: About me? Madame Emery: She wanted to go out, but I didn`t want her to. We had a row. We`ve been so lonely since my husband died.

Geneviève Emery: I`m going to see Guy. Madame Emery: I forbid you to see that boy. Stay here. Geneviève Emery: I don`t want to respect you, but I`m going. Madame Emery: You stay right here! Anyway, Mr. Cassard will be here soon, and I want you to be present.

Madame Emery: My little girl, you`re crazy! Thinking of marriage at sixteen! Geneviève Emery: Seventeen. Madame Emery: In love! Geneviève Emery: Am I too ugly or too stupid? Madame Emery: No, you`re not ugly. You`re not the fairest of them all, but you`re neither ugly nor stupid. You have plenty of time. You think you`re in love, but love is something different. You do not just fall in love with a face in the street. Geneviève Emery: He`s a young man whom I`ve met several times, and he loves me. We want to get married. Madame Emery: I am shocked! Geneviève Emery: I went to the theater with him last night. Madame Emery: So you lied to me! And you admit it without shame!

Guy Foucher: We`ll have children. Geneviève Emery: I`ll name our daughter Francoise. Guy Foucher: And if it is a boy? Geneviève Emery: It will be a girl. We`ve always had girls in the family. Guy Foucher: One o`clock. Geneviève Emery: If Mother`s not asleep, what a scene there will be.

Geneviève Emery: You know, I think she suspects something. Guy Foucher: Who? Geneviève Emery: Mother. When I said I was going to the theater with Cecile, she gave me a funny look. Guy Foucher: What kind of look? Geneviève Emery: Like this. She knows Cecile hates shows, and I am a bad liar. Guy Foucher: That`s what you say. Geneviève Emery: I assure you I am.

Aunt Élise: You seem very nervous. Guy Foucher: I`m going out. Aunt Élise: Alone? Guy Foucher: None of your business. Aunt Élise: It is. Guy Foucher: With a girl. Aunt Élise: Do you love her? Guy Foucher: It could be. Aunt Élise: Tell me the truth. Guy Foucher: I love her.

Geneviève Emery: Guy, I love you. You smell of gasoline. Guy Foucher: It`s just another perfume. Geneviève Emery: Oh, Guy, I love you. A customer - I must run. I`ll see you in front of the theater at eight.

Trivia

Roland tells Genevieve`s mother he once loved a woman named "Lola." "Lola" is a Demy film from 1961, in which Marc Michel plays the same character of Roland.

All the dialogue in the film is sung.

Was the first French musical in color.

In the beginning, a black car rolls into the garage where Guy works, and Guy is asked to assist with the car`s problems. This car is actually Roland Cassard`s and it can be seen two more times: when Roland visits the umbrella shop to give Ms. Emery the money for her pearl necklace, and again as the wedding car. The license plate is the same and can be seen in this latter scene and in the very first.
