Excited Spanish villagers plan an elaborate reception for an American committee involved with the Marshall Plan.

Rob Stone

Time Out

An amazing satire of what Spain and Spanishness was reduced to during the dictatorship, cooked up with equal parts anarchy and compassion and flavoured like an Ealing comedy.

Welcome, Mr. Marshall! was one of the rare Spanish films to treat political events of the day-foremost the exclusion of the country, as a pariah nation, from Marshall Plan funds.

The perfectly controlled tone of the performances is one of subdued farce with the faintest undercurrent of bittersweetness.

Película entretenida a la par que amarga, que además funciona a la perfección como una simpática sátira al pueblo español y al americano, ni corta ni perezosa. Nota: 8.1/10
