Sinekatalog’s take
Luis García Berlanga's gentle comedy hides a British nuclear scientist in a Mediterranean fishing village that adopts him. Edmund Gwenn is delightful in a light, humane and slyly anti-war tale of community and peace.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
