In this "sharp, good-humored spoof of Spanishness or the Hollywood image of Spanishness" (Elliott Stein, The Village Voice), the little Castillian village of Villar del Rio learns that North American representatives of the Marshall Plan are coming to visit Spanish cities to provide economic aid. In an attempt to impress the visitors, the village becomes a kind of false-front  movie set masking the dire conditions in which the inhabitants really live.  With Jose Isbert, Manolo Moran, Lolita Sevilla, Alberto Romea, Luis Perez de Leon, Felix Fernandez, Nicolas Dias Perchicot. In Spanish with NO English.  Luis Garcia Berlanga---Spain---1953---75 mins.
