2009 02 22 - Bienvenido Mister Marshall by Luis Garcia Berlanga
Bienvenido Mr Marshall (Welcome Mr. Marshall)
1953 95mins Format In Spanish with English subtitles Rating TBA Directed by: Luis García Berlanga
Villar del Río is around of the mill Castilian town…. Forgotten, poor and living in monotonous tranquillity. Life in the town is turned upside down when a government official announces that a committee of the Marshall Plan is going to arrive at any moment and the town must be ready to receive “the Americans”. The town converts itself into a stage Andalucian village with cardboards and decorations. All dream of the wishes about to come true when the Americans shower dollars on them. At last the great moment – the Americans arrive.
Awards: Cannes 1953: Best Humorous Comedy and Best Screenplay, Cinema Writers Circle Spain, 1953: Best plot and Best Music.
Festivals: Cannes 1953, San Sebastian 1953, etc.
