I very much appreciate Andrea Kapsaski's remembrance and comments. This movie remains as a masterpiece. Maybe that is a little strong to say, but it is as wonderful today as it was when it first flashed on the screen. It was so ahead of its time even though there have been only a few attempts since then to do a movie where all the dialogue is sung. None have come close to this beautiful movie. This is understandable because it has the glorious music of Michel Legrand and the masterful direction of Jaques Demy.

I have just seen "The Umbrellas of Cherbourg" for the first time in its entirety, and have fallen hopelessly in love with it. Here is the $64,000 Question for fans of the film: Would Guy and Genevieve have been happier together, or are they happier the way things turned out? Jacques Demy doesn't really tell us what to think about that, but I have fairly strong feelings about the answer. Anyone care to discuss the issue?
