Such a simple but rather well told story. They don’t make films like this anymore, I guarantee if they did it would be nominated for best picture these days because the bar is pretty low anyway.
Dirk Bogarde plays a Spanish gardener who becomes the hero of a young boy - much to the envy of the boy’s closeted father. Pretty ahead of its time for 1956.
The film would make a perfect companion piece to The Greengage Summer.
