Le retour de Martin Guerre

We watched the film this evening. I saw it a long time ago but surprisingly had no recollection of how it ended. I feel inspired to find out more about the story. Interesting that the judge should find the events compelling enough to record them. I expect that the real events were not as dramatic as the film version. Did the real Martin Guerre really turn up just as the case was about to be dismissed? And why did he come back anyway? Just to prove his identity? Was he searched for by his uncle?
