The sweetest movie about an innocent kid and his faith. .......2007-06-13

I have been watching this movie all my live!! And every time that I watch it again, I still cry!
My husband remembered how much I love this movie and he gave it to me as a part of the mother's day gift.
The story revolves around Marcelino, a young child abandoned as a baby on a monastery in eighteenth-century in Spain and how he grows into a cute, well-meaning, but lonely boy who is always innocently getting into trouble.
The main story is told in flashback in which a monk visits a sick girl, and tells her the story of Marcelino for inspiration.
You will enjoy it as a quietly moving religious fable. The film remains one of the most famous and successful foreign films of the mid 1950's.

Charming and affecting, 'Miracle of Marcelino' recounts the story of an infant who is left on the steps of a monastery. Not able to find a suitable home, the monks rear the boy with understanding and love. Unable to have a friend to play with when he grows older, the boy resorts to a lot of mischief that doesn't play well with the monks or the townspeople, including an opportunistic mayor who wants custody of the boy. Much of his devilry is fun to watch, though. With a convincing resolution, the boy's problem of loneliness unites the monastery and the town in one leap of faith. (Heartwarming film)

Miracle of Marcelino.......2007-03-16

I watched this movie as a child, when the only language I spoke was Spanish. It made an huge impression on me and I remember being in tears. Watching it as an adult gave me a different prespective - still bringing me to tears. It is, to me, one of the best movies ever made!!!

Christian - Faith - Fiction.......2006-12-31

This is faith at it's best. it's a bit slow but the ending is worth it

About this release.......2006-08-25

This "DVD" (not VHS) from "Vci" (not from Vanguard) has English/Spanish options for BOTH audio and subtitles. I was confused before buying, but this is the release you want to get. The quality of both image and sound is very good, although you may find the dubbed English is not quite "seamlessly" mixed with the original music (not the recommended option anyway).

The movie itself is as others wrote. Both sad and blessed at once. They rarely make 'em like this anymore.

My name is Marcelino.......2006-11-05

Ever since I was a little boy, my grandmother would sing to me the song from this movie. She told me the story, then one day she took me to see, "Marcelino Pan Y Vino". I was young and didn't really understand the whole movie. After seeing again, I simply loved it. I think its the best spanish movie I have ever seen. I want to thank my roommate, for convicing me to buy it as a gift to myself for my birthday.

A masterpiece - but beware the Vanguard Latino DVD.......2005-04-08

"Marcelino, Pan y Vino" (1955) is a marvel. Simple but touching, beautifully acted and filmed, it captures that elusive mixture of logic and mystery at the heart of childhood. Ladislao Vajda's spare yet sensitive direction is mirrored by Pablo Sorozabal's masterful score, and by the child Pablito Calvo's marvellous portrayal in the title role.

This Spanish/Italian co-production came up fresh as paint in a recent Spanish-only release from Video Mercury Films (2002.) It gives me no pleasure to report that the 2004 Vanguard Latino issue - the only one currently available with English subtitles - is a travesty of the crisp original print. It claims to be "digitally remastered", but the Vanguard DVD is horribly bleached, blurred and blocky, with crumbly sound and laced with video artefacts. It is in fact well-nigh unwatchable. Presumably it was taken from a poor VHS copy, maybe of Mexican provenance (which might account for its attribution of the film to that country.)

The English subtitles are sparse and spiky - whilst the magical sung scene at the heart of the film is not subtitled at all! It's frustrating that the excellent Spanish issue has no subtitles, but anyone with even the barest smattering of Spanish should seek it out, rather than this appalling Vanguard Latino travesty, which defaces a cinematic masterpiece beyond repair.
