Ah, human nature!!. No matter how great a film may be there is almost always someone who will post inane comments about the movie that makes me shake my head in wonder, This is a small masterpiece, a little gem with a surprising outcome that I thought about for days after seeing the film.
They remade the film in 1992, with an older too Hollywoodish child actor.. The child in the earlier version gives a one of a kind performance. A six year old actor playing a six year old kid, how the director got such a moving performance from someone that young is a wonder. His voice was dubbed so I initially thought it was the actor doing the voice-over who was playing the part so well. Then I saw the film in Spanish ( I speak the language) the dubbing doesn't do justice to the original performance.
You will not find the movie at Blockbuster, so you have to buy the DVD. They issued two versions last year, first a digitally remastered copy, THAN a version that was not computer enhanced. I know, it is confusing.
I love this little movie, I have already sent a copy to my granddaughter in Florida who was weaned on 70's films with Technicolor, Dolby and all that stuff. I expect a call in the next few days asking how I found this "great" movie
