Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Sommersby is a 1993 period drama film directed by Jon Amiel, starring Richard Gere, Jodie Foster and Bill Pullman. It is an American remake of the French film The Return of Martin Guerre (1982), which was based on a true story. The original story was set in 16th-century France. In Sommersby, it is transposed to Tennessee shortly after The American Civil War.Laurel Sommersby (Foster) has lived alone in Vine Hill, Tennessee since her husband Jack left home six years ago to fight for the Confederacy. The American Civil War is over and a man claiming to be Jack (Gere) comes to Vine Hill. Everybody recognizes him, including Laurel. Progressively, doubts about his true identity arise. | |

| Sommersby / int_20f689e9 | comment |
Adaptational Villainy: In The Return of Martin Guerre, Martin Guerre was an aloof husband, but he was not abusive. In this film, Jack Sommersby beat his wife and raped her when he was drunk. He also committed a murder. | |

Adaptational Heroism | |
| Sommersby / int_3f45f1e6 | comment |
Adaptational Heroism: In The Return of Martin Guerre, during the trial, the impostor tries to convice everyone that he was Martin Guerre, because it is the only way to save his own skin. Only after he realizes he is doomed (because the real Martin Guerre shows up), he tells his alleged wife to recognize the real Martin Guerre as her husband to save herself. In this film, the impostor tries to convice everyone that he is Jack Sommersby, even if it means that he will be sentenced to death, because it will preserve Laurel's honor and because his son will not be considered as a bastard. Such self-sacrifice was not present in the original film. | |
