Based on the childhood memoirs of Marcel Pagnol, author of 'Jean De Florette' and 'Manon Des Sources', 'La Gloire De Mon Pere' and its sequel 'Le Chateau De Ma Mere' are two of the greatest and most successful French films ever made. An adult Marcel nostalgically recalls one idyllic summer spent with his family in the hills of Provence. A love affair with the country began and during those perfect days he found new respect for his school teacher father as he adapted to life away from the city. 'La Gloire De Mon Pere' is filled with warmth, humour and love for bygone days of youth; it is one of cinema's finest celebrations of childhood. French dialogue with subtitles.
