Fanny

In the 1932 French romantic drama film "Fanny," Orane Demazis plays Fanny Cabanis Panisse, a pregnant woman who accepts a marriage proposal from Honoré Panisse (Fernand Charpin), an aging widower, to secure a better life for her unborn child. When Marius (Raimu), Fanny's childhood friend and the son of barkeeper César (Alida Rouffe as Honorine Cabanis, but not present on screen), returns from a scientific expedition, he discovers his presence in Marseille coincides with Fanny's pregnancy, leading to a complicated situation where César encourages Fanny to raise her child as Panisse's.
