Paul and Michelle

Paul and Michelle

Paul and Michelle is a 1974 drama film directed and produced by Lewis Gilbert, whose story Vernon Harris and Angela Huth dramatized. It is a sequel to the 1971 film Friends, by the same director and with the same lead actors. Gilbert says the film was not as successful as the first - "it didn't have the same freshness" - although "it wasn't unsuccessful".

Plot

Taking place approximately three years after the events in Friends, Paul and Michelle resumes the story of Paul Harrison (Sean Bury) and Michelle Latour (Anicée Alvina) after they are reunited. Paul, having successfully completed prep school in England as the head boy, returns to France to study at the Sorbonne and to locate his lover Michelle and their three-year-old daughter Sylvie. He is directed to Nice where Michelle had taken a job, only to find that she left the job due to an unpleasant situation with her boss, and is now living in a comfortable apartment with Garry (Keir Dullea), an older American airline pilot. Michelle had written to Paul many times, but his stepmother failed to give him the letters. Paul and Michelle discover that they are still in love, and return with Sylvie to Michelle's cottage in the Camargue for an idyllic summer. Garry is unhappy about losing Michelle and tries to get her to change her mind and stay with him, but accepts her choice to be with Paul.
