Fernandel and director Jean Giono (right) during filming of "Crésus". Forcalquier, Alpes-de-Haute-Provence 1960.

During the filming of "Crésus" in Forcalquier, 1960, actor Fernandel, in a fedora and overcoat, converses with director Jean Giono (right) in a sunlit, unpaved town square. Surrounded by onlookers, including several intently watching children, the two men are framed by bare, gnarled trees that cast long shadows. Giono, distinguished by his mane of white hair, listens as the actor speaks. The scene, set in the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, is captured on a cool day, evidenced by the crowd’s warm clothing.
