Welcome Mr Marshall is a film that not only has not aged,
is that it is more uncomfortable than healthy fifty years ago.

The Marshall Plan (officially called the European Recovery Program or ERP) was the main U.S. plan to rebuild European countries after the Second World War, which in turn was meant to contain a possible spread of communism . The initiative was named for Secretary of State of the United States, George Marshall, and was designed primarily by the State Department, especially William L. Clayton and George F. Kennan.

Many parts of the world that were also devastated by the Second World War did not benefit from the Marshall Plan. The only major Western European country that was excluded from aid Spain was because after the English Civil War, Spain was closed in a policy of autarky and protectionism under the Franco regime. Even with its reluctance to cooperate with a country fascist aspect, the United States decided to offer economic aid to Spain, because the regime of Francisco Franco was, however, guarantee that the country would not receive Soviet influence. During the fifties, Spain received U.S. funding, and even if they never reached the amounts that their neighbors had received under the Marshall Plan was the starting point of an economic recovery after more than ten years of grueling war.

Welcome, Mister Marshall is a 1953 English film directed by Luis García Berlanga. Was re-released on December 20, 2002 in Guadalix de la Sierra, where they filmed the movie, with 25,260 spectators and raising € 39,346.58. In addition, as a tribute to the centennial of the Gran Vía of Madrid, were projected a dozen famous films, among which was this.

In the 1950's, a small English village, Villar del Rio, (part of the filming took place in Guadalix de la Sierra, in the Community of Madrid) is preparing to receive the alleged visit by the full U.S. aid plan development. The people see an opportunity and social life begins to revolve around Americans.

Welcome, Mister Marshall is a film produced by UNINCI (which forced its director to include Lolita Sevilla), which, in a tone of satire and criticism underground, talks about the political and economic situation in Spain at the time shooting, unprecedented in the English films to date. It is said that Franco's censors passed by the ironic dose of xenophobia it contains. While others see as Kepa Sojo, author of American , I received with joy ! An approach to Welcome Mister Marshall , which was to demonstrate that the Franco regime was not bad. Movie

essential in the English film, considered a masterpiece. Backed by awards harvested at the International Film Festival of Cannes, the work of Berlanga is a comedy of manners about the Spain of the 1950's. These are the years when the United States government launches the Marshall Plan to rebuild Western Europe after the war, aid which Spain was left out. Berlanga also portrays the initial openness of the Franco regime to foreign countries, mainly U.S.

A biting depth charge against the United States, topped with censored scene of the sinking American flag in the canal, which shocked Edward G. Robinson during his exhibition in Cannes, Kepa Sojo said that was due to be charged as common and free American Activities Committee. While the actor ranting against "an attack on U.S." Berlanga trying to play at the casino with a fake dollars with the face of Pepe and Manolo Morán Isbert. So Welcome Mr Marshall is a film that not only has not aged, is that it is more uncomfortable than healthy fifty years ago.

The film is an example of how it was Spain at the time, and the characters represent the characteristic types. On the one hand the power, represented by the mayor, the priest and the active forces (apothecary, gentleman, merchant, teacher), and other people (mostly farmers). From the social point of view has captured the idiosyncrasies, the fact that the mayor is somewhat deaf is not accidental, nor fear the Delegate that the cure is gossipy, the teacher is single and needs the support of smartass class ... The subordinate role of women is reflected in its limited presence, and that such limited intervention is the popular singer. The people have missed the boat, and is doomed to disappear.

Of great relief is the outcry from the City, with Pepe and Manolo Morán Isbert in a retrospective and hilarious performance. The proclamation began with the sentence: "As mayor your I am I owe an explanation, and that explanation I'm going to give because I owe you " repeated several times has become one of the mythical events English cinema.

For the Americans the people prepared a song, this is the point.

The Yankees have been, olé
wit, a thousand gifts,
and pretty girls
will present him with airplanes,
with free jet airplanes
that cuts the air,
and skyscrapers, or keep yourselves in frigidaire


CHORUS
