Synopsis

The film is set in France during the Seven Years' War. As the film begins, Fanfan (Gérard Philipe) is a charming, attractive young man who is trying to escape a shotgun marriage. At this vulnerable point in his life, he is approached by the daughter of a recruiting officer, Adeline (played by Gina Lollobrigida), who tells him that if he joins the army, he will find fame, fortune, and will marry the king's daughter. Accordingly he joins the army, only to discover that she made the whole thing up in order for her father to get a recruiting bonus. Nevertheless, encouraged by a series of improbable circumstances, he accepts her prediction as his destiny. A series of events ensues which shows off to great advantage his athleticism and leadership ability. As the film progresses, we become aware of a developing attraction between himself and Adeline which however conflicts with his perceived “destiny” of marrying a king's daughter.

Deux épisodes de l'occupation prussienne en 1870. Le film est une adaptation de deux nouvelles de Guy de Maupassant : Boule de Suif et Mademoiselle Fifi. Lors du voyage en diligence d'un groupe apeuré d'habitants de Rouen, Élisabeth Rousset, dite « Boule de Suif », rend à ces gens un signalé service, mais se heurte à leur sottise et à leur suffisance. Un peu plus tard, Boule-de-suif assassine le redoutable lieutenant prussien que ses amis avaient surnommé Fifi et qui étalait sans vergogne son goût du pillage et ses penchants sadiques.

In the shorter of the two, Holmes is approached by a famous Russian ballerina, Madame Petrova (Tamara Toumanova), who proposes that they conceive a child together, one who she hopes will inherit her physique and his intellect.
