Synopsis of Schwarze Walfisch
Schwarze Walfisch (The Black Whale) is the German-language version of the Marcel Pagnol masterpiece Fanny. Replacing the virtually irreplaceable Raimu as philosophical innkeeper Panisse is Emil Jannings, no small talent in his own right. When Panisse's son Marius (Franz Nicklisch) goes off to sea, he leaves his pregnant sweetheart Fanny (Angela Sokker) to fend for herself. The old barkeep tries to patch things up by marrying off Fanny to his middle-aged friend Cesar (Max Guelstorff), who adopts the girl's baby as his own. Years later, Marius returns, demanding that both Fanny and the child return to him. But by now Fanny is loyal to her homely but faithful Cesar, and it is Marius who ends up empty-handed. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
