The Young Girls of Rochefort (Les Demoiselles de Rochefort) is a 1967 French musical film written and directed by Jacques Demy, with a score by Michel Legrand (music) and Demy (lyrics).Set in the titular seaside town of Rochefort, the story follows twin sisters Delphine (Catherine Deneuve), a ballet instructor, and Solange (Françoise Dorléac), a music teacher. Both long to start a new life outside of Rochefort and to hopefully find true love. Throughout the film, the sisters' stories intertwine with those of a number of other characters: Maxence (Jacques Perrin): A sailor about to be demobilized from the navy, as well as a lovesick poet and painter, longing to find his one true love. Étienne (George Chakiris) and Bill (Grover Dale): Two slick but kind carnies who arrive with the fair. When their two female dancers quit at the last minute, the two hire Delphine and Solange to perform for them, in exchange for the chance to leave with them for Paris. Yvonne (Danielle Darrieux): Delphine and Solange's mother, who owns a café in the middle of town. Simon Dame (Michel Piccoli): Yvonne's former fiancee, who just opened a music shop in town, unbeknownst to Yvonne. Andy Miller (Gene Kelly): A charming American colleague of Dame's.All of them repeatedly cross paths until finally coming together, and the twin sisters depart for Paris with their newfound true loves.The second collaboration between Jacques Demy and Michel Legrand, following The Umbrellas of Cherbourg. Though not as well-remembered as that film, it was a big success upon release, and earned an Academy Award nomination for Best Original Score (Original or Adaptation).Catherine Deneuve and Françoise Dorléac were Real Life sisters. Sadly, Dorléac was killed in a car accident shortly after the film was released. | |

The Song Remains the Same: Inverted. When released in the United States, the film was dubbed into English, but all the musical numbers were filmed again with the cast mouthing the English lyrics. | |

| The Young Girls of Rochefort / int_78e8eba5 | comment |
"A Pair of Twins" - Delphine and Solange tire of teaching ballet and music lessons, respectively, and long to find their ideal love and the chance to start a new life outside of Rochefort. Also counts as an "I Am" Song. | |

"I Want" Song: Most every main character gets one of these. "A Pair of Twins" - Delphine and Solange tire of teaching ballet and music lessons, respectively, and long to find their ideal love and the chance to start a new life outside of Rochefort. Also counts as an "I Am" Song. "Maxence's Song" - Maxence longs to find his ideal woman. "Andy's Song" - Andy is desperate to find the girl (Solange) whose concerto captivated him so greatly. | |

Shout-Out | |
| The Young Girls of Rochefort / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: Solange at one point refers to Bill and Etienne as Jules and Jim. In a more meta touch, during one musical number the Garniers suggest using the music of Michel Legrand, who wrote the music for this very film (along with others from Demy). | |

Contrived Coincidence: Solange asks the help of Simon Dame, who happens to be the former lover of her mother. Solange bumps in the street into Andy Miller, who happens to be the musician she tries to get in touch with. Maxence dreams of his soulmate and he paints her portrait, which looks like Delphine (who Maxence has never met). He shows the painting's at Guillaume Lancien's gallery. Guillaume happens to be Delphine's ex-boyfriend. | |

Lady in Red: Solange and Delphine wear very flashy red dresses (backless and with a slit at the side) for their number at the fair. Solange lampshades it by wondering if the dresses will make them look like whores. | |
