No lo olvide yo! A decade has passed since I viewed this creditable motion picture in a very comfortably seated Parisian cinema, probably chain-owned by Gaumont or UGC, the experience stays vividly in my memory. The deciding moment for me was when one of the younger characters was forgotten by his parents in the market place, this speaks for many a child's primeval fear. The story seemed devoid of tenderness until Jaibo entered into a romantic relationship with one of the young mothers, my mother remembered how the audience giggled at this moment in Edinburgh back in the 1950s. The audience was too small and undemonstrative to compare in Paris. I'd be interested to know if the anonymous reviewer sensed any reaction to this episode. When I returned to school a few weeks, I recounted this film to my then matron Mrs. Hazel Bratten and said that the film's message was inherently bleak which she admonished me for. She reminded me that art is an interpretable medium and is not any one reality.
