Fanny is a 1932 French romance and drama film directed by Marc Allégret, based on the play by Marcel Pagnol. It is the second part in the Marseillaise film trilogy that started with Marius (1931) and concluded with César (1936). Like "Marius" the film was a box office success in France and today is still considered to be a classic of French cinema.

The story takes place in Marseille. Marius, the son of barkeeper, César, has a romance with Fanny, a neighbourhood girl and daughter of the fish salesman in the harbor. Marius dreams of sailing away one day to travel the seven seas. Fanny soon discovers she is pregnant by Marius, a shameful position in the community since she's a single mother with a father unable to secure the future of her and her child. She agrees with her parents' advice to marry a more prosperous salesman in the harbor, Honoré Panisse, who is 30 years older than she is. A few months after the marriage and the birth of the baby, Marius returns and tries to win back Fanny...
