(Belle and Sebastian)
Country: FR
Technical: bw/1.33:1 TV Mini-series (13 x 26m)
Director: Cécile Aubry, Jean Guillaume
Cast: Mehdi El Glaoui, Edmond Beauchamp, Dominique Blondeau, Paloma Matta
Synopsis:
A small boy growing up in a border village in Savoie rescues a mountain dog and foils a smuggling operation.
Review:
Classic French TV serial which delighted generations of kids around Europe for over a decade in dubbed versions. It was made by Gaumont's television arm and used its locations and second rank cast well, making it seem more like a broken up film than an actual TV production. There was also a catchy but maudlin theme song that lingers in the memory.
