Miracle in Milan (1951)
Directed by Vittorio
De Sica this film stars Francesco Golisano, Emma Gramatica, Paolo
Stoppa and Guglielmo Barnabo. In post war Italy an orphan that was
found in a cabbage patch has grown up and helps run a shanty town for
the poor.
There is plenty of
Christian allegory in this story but it is not done in such a way as
to beat you over the head with a theist agenda. The story covers
classic neorealist subject matters such as poverty but has a Capra
style fantasy level to it. It is really interesting to see the fusion
of styles and the special effects hold up pretty well given the era
and budget this film was made on.
5/5
