They later became the inspiration and setting for his work.  The village of La Treille is real Pagnol territory. There aren\rquote t man
y people still alive who knew him, but Henri Daries certainly did. The films Jean de Florette and Manon des Sources - both based on Pagnol\rquote s work - featured this famous fountain.}{

 could work with him.  To his great surprise, Pagnol took him on as a camera assistant.  Pagnol had some big ideas - to create a film industry which would rival Paris, even Hollywood.  But even though these ideas came to nothing, Pagnol made some g
reat films.  The settings can still be seen - like the abandoned village where Henri worked with Pagnol sixty years ago.  It's called Aubignane.

\par Wendy:}{\f1\fs22   How did you manage to build a village here?
\par }\pard \widctlpar\adjustright {\f1\fs22 
\par }{\b\f1\fs22 
\par Henri Daries:}{\i\f1\fs22   }{\f1\fs22 Of course there were a few problems Tracks had to be made, there weren't any tracks.  We had to blow u
p the rocks, then make the tracks passable.  The village was built little by little.  There was a church, there was a baker's, there was Panturle's house.  Everything you'd find in a village.
\par 
\par }\pard \ri-51\widctlpar\adjustright {\i\f1\fs22 
In the film Regain, the village of Aubignane is background to one of Pagnol's favourite topics - the depopulation of the countryside. Everybody leaves the village, but Panturle and his wife Arsule refuse to leave. Full of optimism, the couple decide - des
pite all advice against it - to earn a living growing wheat.
\par }{\b\f1\fs22 
\par Actress:  }{\f1\fs22 Wheat!
\par }{\b\f1\fs22 Actor:}{\f1\fs22   Yes!  Wheat, it's beautiful.  I'm going to sow it once I've finished work. 
\par 
\par }{\i\f1\fs22 The following autumn they sell their first harvest at the local market. No-one could believe it!
\par }\pard \widctlpar\adjustright {\i\f1\fs22

\par }{\b\f1\fs22 Actor 1:  }{\f1\fs22 Good gracious!
\par }{\b\f1\fs22 Actor 2:}{\f1\fs22   My wife likes good bread
\par 
\par }{\b\f1\fs22 
\par }{\i\f1\fs22 Their success inspires other people to return to the village to work on the soil. It must have been extremely hard to work on these arid hills in the thirties.
\par }{\b\f1\fs22 
\par 
\par Wendy:}{\f1\fs22   What was Pagnol like at work?
\par 
\par }{\b\f1\fs22 Henri Daries:}{\i\f1\fs22   }{\f1\fs22 The same as he always was.  A charming man.  You see, we don't have water here.  It has to be brought up.  
Every morning the cook would come with a container of water as fresh as possible straight from the spring, which we kept for the pastis.  And when w
e were a bit peckish we'd have a pastis, playboules, then get back to work.  Work and play were the same. We had work to do, we knew that but we did it with joy.
\par 
\par }{\i\f1\fs22 The last scene in Regain takes place in the fields below the village. Panturle and Arsule sow their new harvest.
\par }{\f1\fs22 
\par }{\b\f1\fs22 Panturle:}{\f1\fs22   Tell me what's wrong?
\par }{\b\f1\fs22 Arsule:}{\f1\fs22   Nothing, don't worry
\par }{\b\f1\fs22 Panturle:}{\f1\fs22   }{\f1\fs22 Falling and looking pale is nothing?  How do you feel?
\par 
\par }{\b\f1\fs22 Arsule:}{\f1\fs22   It's nothing. On the contrary...
\par }{\b\f1\fs22 Panturle:}{\f1\fs22   }{\f1\fs22 On the contrary?  Let me see.  But you're not this fat...
\par }{\b\f1\fs22 Arsule:}{\f1\fs22   No. Now you know
\par 
\par }{\i\f1\fs22 A nice ending a la Pagnol. In 1946 Marcel Pagnol was elected Member of the Acad\'e9mie Fran\'e7aise - a well-deserved honour for a writer and film-maker who knew so well how to capture the soul of Provence.
\par }{\f1\fs22 
\par }{\b\f1\fs22 Henri Daries:}{\i\f1\fs22   }{\f1\fs22 Pro
vencal people appear very jovial but in fact they're very sensitive and serious.  Pagnol reflects these people, because he's from Provence.  He had a style of writing which reached everyone, beautiful writing and he put across the soul of the region and i
ts people.
