Joshua Logan’s best film
I have seen four of Joshua Logan’s films, South Pacific which I liked despite its flaws(for example colour filtering), Camelot which I had mixed feelings about(loved the songs and production values, didn’t much like the pace and singing), Paint Your Wagon which I didn’t really like(the story as well as the singing let it down) and this, Fanny-more drama- which I thoroughly enjoyed.1961’s Fanny is not completely perfect, it is perhaps overlong and a tad too leisurely. And while the story is admittedly creaky, it does have plenty of charming and poignant moments to make up for it.
On the other hand, Fanny does have wonderful production values, consisting of luscious photography, beautifully constructed scenery and sets and gorgeous costumes. Another high point is the music, the background scoring is just amazing. My favourite song from the Broadway musical itself is Welcome Home, which is a masterpiece of a song with a poignant melody and poetic lyrics. It was a song I fell in love with after hearing Sherrill Milnes sing it in the late 80s. While Milnes was past prime there his voice even after his vocal health problems was in good shape singing this and he looked so thoughtful on stage too; it sounded so rich and noble, closing your eyes you would think it was early 70s rather than late 80s.
Anyway back to the film, the screenplay is infectious and funny as well as having a great deal of charm and poignancy, and Joshua Logan’s direction is less studio-bound and smug than I have known it to be, in fact film wise this is his best and most consistent directing job. The acting is great. Leslie Caron is very beguiling, and while Charles Boyer is very good, Maurice Chevalier and especially Horst Buchholz are wonderful.
All in all, a very nice film and my personal favourite so far of Logan’s films. 8/10 Bethany Cox
