    Ma Petite Est Comme L' Eau.....

    Today,French people mainly remember Guy Béart's (Emmanuelle's father) eponymous ballad which was a big hit circa 1959.Few people still know that it's the song from a movie (I don't even remember if you hear the sung version in the movie anyway).

    Based on a Jean Giono novel ,a pacifist writer from Provence,it's not as gripping as the made-for-TV "the deserter" .The screenplay is rather derivative : the orphan girl versus greedy relatives.Pascale Audret ,who was Hughes Aufray's sister -He was a famous French singer , the first to cover Dylan's songs there-has charm and talent going for her and there are the lovely landscapes and and even ecological concern.

      The story revolves around the building of an actual dam by EDF, the French electricity company, the Barrage de Serre-Ponçon, which started in 1955. But as the dam would not be operative before 1960, the Chaudanne dam dubbed for Serre-Ponçon for the flooding sequence.
