César is a 1936 French romantic drama film written and directed by Marcel Pagnol and starring Raimu, Pierre Fresnay, Fernand Charpin, Orane Demazis, and André Fouché.

A gobsmacked Césariot tells Fanny that he is going to visit a friend from school, but really goes to see Marius, who is now a car mechanic in Toulon.

A short time later, just after Césariot has left Marseille to start a job elsewhere, Marius and Fanny meet privately.

They both admit their continuing love for each other, but Marius says he feels uncomfortable around Fanny now, since she is a different person after spending so long living so comfortably.

In complement came recollections about the production of the film, which were later published as part of the augmented edition of his 1934 essay French: Cinématurgie de Paris.
