Of course this is a film that shows off Joselito's singing talent, and that of giving the gypsy culture of Spain some respect and appreciation of the good virtues which are brought out with Catholic Church Clergy involvement. What fascinates me is the capturing that era of Franco whose efforts were those of conservatism/fascism and its efforts to maintain a good society. The element of someone going bad, being forgiven and then from then on being a good person -is very Catholic and a central theme of this movie. I love the location shots and the costumes. My guess is that the village they used as a back drop was La Alberca in the province of Salamanca. I say this only because I've been there and it does look like it. Another clue for this is the mention in the film of a feast that was to take place in the City of Salamanca, also mentioning Astorga which is another smaller city not too far from this province. Even though the movie hints at being from this area, it does give reference to Sevilla in Andalucia where the gypsy culture thrives. This area of Spain has gypsies as well, but not even close to the extent you would find in Andalucia. Enjoy the flavor of the film and its attempt to juxtapose those 2 worlds, and the marvelous singing of Joselito
