...And the Earth Did Not Swallow Him

 

Drama, Mexican immigrants
-Year: 1994
-Year in film: 1952
-Country: USA
-Who in bibs: boys ~7, 10, girl, men
-Available on DVD: yes 
-I own: no
-Bib occurrence: low+
-Rating:  5/10
-Rating: *****
-Comment: At least one young boy ~ 7 yo (unpictured) a boy, a bit older at the beginning (supporting actor ?) also standing at 26 full view but side view (brief scene), a farm working young girl (pic 2) with a shirt bound around her hips and men in bibs.

Nice early 50s Minnesota (and maybe Texas) farm setting but rather few good scenes. At least 2 scenes of the younger boy (mainly headshot ?), inside and outside from a distance. The main character is a 12 yo Mexican boy (I think not in bibs).

1971 novel  ...y no se lo tragó la tierra "...And the Earth Did Not Devour Him" by Tomas Rivera.

Rating (4)-5. Maybe needs to be rechecked including the novel.
