One of the most beloved and cherished of all musicals is this colorful, romantic, and bittersweet study of love and chance. Guy (Nino Castelnuovo) and Genevieve (the radiant Catherine Deneuve) are the lovesick couple who are torn apart when Guy must leave the seaside town of Cherbourg for military service in Algeria. Every line of dialogue is sung to the memorably haunting score by Michel Legrand.
