Usual fold marks
The nostalgic Pagnol sends a tender and amusing letter to his friend, the actor Maurice Escande, who shot his film Le Gendre de monsieur Poirier
« Mon cher Maurice,
Animer une soirée ! J’en suis tout à fait incapable, et je n’arrive pas souvent à m’animer moi-même !
Je regrette le beau temps du Gendre de Mr. Poirier… Il y a déjà 34 ans ; c’est une idée horrible.
Je t’embrasse,
Marcel »
The first film directed by Marcel Pagnol in 1934, Le gendre de monsieur Poirier tells the story of an aristocrat, a lover of frivolities, until the day he decides to change his life to devote himself to his wife and work. The actor Maurice Escande (1892-1973) played the role of Hector de Montmeyran.
