The Umbrellas of Cherbourg as a musical, is peculiar in different ways. Foremost, unlike most big American productions of the time, there were no show-stopping production numbers. There was no dancing, no chorus, and no duets. Furthermore, there were no spoken lines of dialogue all things, from the worldly to the meaningful, is sung. At last, The Umbrellas of Cherbourg is not a happily-ever-after ending. In spite of the fact that the film has its share of vivacious and lively moments, there is also an element of certain emotion and sadness. The Umbrellas of Cherbourg exhibits that another less difficult, more perspicacious kind of love, which has its own appeal.
