The Umbrellas of Cherbourg (1964)

The Umbrellas of Cherbourg was a musical from 1964. Its about a 2o year old auto mechanic, Guy, and a 17 year old Geneviève Emery, who fall in love but are faced with many obstacles. On the night before Guy has to leave for a two-year tour of combat in Algeria, he and Geneviève make love. She turns out to be pregnant and has to make a difficult decision, wait for Guys return, or accepting an offer of marriage from a wealthy diamond merchant.
Even though this is a good story, my favorite part is the style of dressing. I love the girly dresses, the bold colors, and the hair filled with volume.
