Manon of the Spring (1952 film) explained
Manon of the Spring (fr|Manon des sources, pronounced as /fr/) is a 1952 French two-part drama film directed by Marcel Pagnol and starring Jacqueline Pagnol, Raymond Pellegrin and Henri Vilbert. It was shot at Marseille Studios and on location around La Treille and Aubagne. The film's sets were designed by the art director Eugène Delfau. It was released as two separate films, the second under the title Ugolin.
