And, more important, Luana de Alcaniz offers a profound beautiful performance as Saint Mary, delicate and precise , clear and honest. It is a film from Latino America of 1948. It is not fair to ignore the period and the location for judge it.And it is one of occasion for Luis Alcoriza to propose his so familiar in technique and details portrait of the Savior. So, a beautiful Christian film. And a correct , delicate portrait of the Queen of the queeens.
