Additional InformationTHE WELL-DIGGER'S DAUGHTER served to reunite star Raimu and writer/director Marcel Pagnol, who'd earlier scored an international hit with the MARSEILLES Trilogy (FANNY, MARIUS, CESAR). The title character played by Josette Day, is impregnated by aviator George Gray. Her father, Raimu, orders Josette out of the house so that her younger sisters won't be likewise 'corrupted'. There's many a moment of pathos and hilarity before Raimu realises the folly of his behavior. Filmed in 1940, just after France's acquiescence to their Nazi conquerors, THE WELL-DIGGER'S DAUGHTER didn't make it to the US until 1946.
