Childhood Religious Apparitions

This Spanish film was made in 1955. It is a dubbed version, and as with older dubbed foreign films it can be a little distracting. However the content of the film is an innocent and sweet telling of the story of an orphaned boy raised by monks in a monastery in Spain in the early part of the 19th century. The film depicts a series of religious apparition experiences that lead to an unexpected ending.

The film is not filled with spiritual experiences or religious propaganda. It tells a story about the life of a little boy. I recommend this film. It is a must see for people who are interested in children's religious apparition experiences. August 13, 2007

Just as I remembered it

I was going to school at Holy Cross Elementary (Dover, Del), during the early 60's and when I saw this movie, it really shook me up. I'm a softy at heart and I must admit I cried towards the end of the movie.
It was great to see this classic. August 10, 2007

The sweetest movie about an innocent kid and his faith.

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. June 13, 2007
