The Umbrellas Of Cherbourg (1964)

A heartbreakingly beautiful musical from France in which Catherine Deneuve falls for a local garage mechanic. When she falls pregnant and he is conscripted into the army, she is pushed into a marriage of convenience with another man. Every word is sung and the whole film has a rich lyrical feel to it that tugs gently at your heart. (Image courtesy of Tartan Video)
