Longing for the Sea (Swedish: Längtan till havet) is a 1931 French-Swedish drama film directed by John W. Brunius and starring Edvin Adolphson, Carl Barcklind and Inga Tidblad.[1] It is the Swedish-language version of the French film Marius directed by Alexander Korda and based on the 1929 play of the same title by Marcel Pagnol. It was shot at the Joinville Studios in Paris and on location in Marseille. The film's sets were designed by the art director Vincent Korda.
Marius works in his father's cafe on the Marseille waterfront but dreams of going away to sea. He has a dalliance with Fanny. Marius receives an offer to work on a ship that is going on a voyage for many years. Torn between his love for Fanny and his seafaring dream, he refuses the opportunity. But Fanny, realizing he will not be truly happy staying at home, decides to encourage him to leave by letting him think that she would rather be with someone else. Ultimately Marius leaves her to take a job as a sailor on a ship sailing the world.
