Young doctor Marie Prieur (Micheline Presle) willingly accepted a posting to the rural Brittany isle of Ushant to replace its retiring physician...and slowly but surely won over the confidence of a skeptical populace. The hard-working healer found distraction--and more--from the romantic attentions of visiting engineer André Lorenzi (Massimo Girotti)...but what will she do when he demands that she choose between him and career? Moving effort, the final feature from director Jean Grémillon, co-stars Gaby Morlay, Paola Stoppa, Marc Cassot. 104 min. Standard; Soundtrack: French Dolby Digital mono; Subtitles: English; bonus documentary "In Search of Jean Grémillon" (1969). In French with English subtitles. Two-disc set.
