Title: Stunning Black & White Transfer, Touching Story
Product review: Wow, this was stunning, both in photography and in content. Here's a nice, old-fashioned "religious story" you rarely see anymore. The English title goes under "The Miracle Of Marcelino."Pablito Calvo as the title character, Marcelino," is excellent. Kudos to cinematographer Heinrich Gartner for beautiful black-and-white photography. The DVD transfer was outstanding, too. The lighting, particularly on faces, is terrific.You'll never find this at a rental store but those you are curious, you might want to add it to your queue if you belong to one of those mail-in rental programs, and then you can buy it here! This film was a collaboration of Spanish and Italian filmmakers, I think. There was a color re-make in the early '90s, but I haven't seen it. In either case, don't buy the cheap copy. You get what you pay for, and you don't want to miss this great DVD transfer.It's a film of tender "innocence" like few I've ever seen, which makes it very memorable.
