I was wondering which novel the musical Martin Guerre was based on.
was it "the return of martin guerre" or "the wife of martin guerre"?

Isn't this a French tale?
There was a 1982 movie LE RETOUR DE MARTIN GUERRE ( with Gerard Depardieu) based on this French tale.
Likewise, there was another movie SOMMERSBY ( with Jodie Foster and Richard Gere) which was presumably also based on the same French tale.

Posted: 1/22/06 at 9:15pmIt was based on a historical account, I think. Natalie Zemon Davis (a history professor) wrote the book The Return of Martin Guerre based on her research.

I love the music.
Saw the show in London and then at the Kennedy Center.
The U.S. version did not compare.
One day it will be on Broadway...or at least I hope.
