Yves Montand as an envious and intriguing old scoundrel for whom only money and possession matter; that was quite unexpected. The film is a masterpiece that finally has a satisfying moral: the scoundrel, who thinks only of taking advantage of others without pity, will get the terrible punishment he deserves when he finds out who he killed!

View all Manon of the Spring reviews
In a rural French village an old man and his only remaining relative are successful flower growers using water from a spring on an adjoining property they now own. The grown-up daughter of the previous owner still lives in the hills as a goatherd and comes to realise that not only these two but the whole village knew of the existence of the spring when her father was desperately trying to water his crops. An accident with one of the goats leads her by chance to the source of the spring and the possibility of a terrible revenge.

“Yves Montand as an envious and intriguing old scoundrel for whom only money and possession matter; that was quite unexpected.

The film is a masterpiece that finally has a satisfying moral: the scoundrel, who thinks only of taking advantage of others without pity, will get the terrible punishment he deserves when he finds out who he killed! Ditto for his "Galinette"  who will become madly in love with Manon, the daughter of the man they murdered in various ways, his grandfather and him; Manon who, knowing the whole truth, will reject him like a bad dog. "Galinette" will only have to draw the consequences of his crimes.

Note that initially, it was Michel Colucci (Coluche) who had been approached by Claude Berri for the role that Daniel Auteuil plays masterfully.
