About Every Child a Cross to Bear
Sometimes parents make the mistake of loving one child more than the others. Don José places blind trust in his son Pepe, who turns out to be the one committing the most serious faults within the family, while Raymundo is the one who pays for them. Remake of Cuando los hijos se van (1941).
Directed by Juan Bustillo Oro, Every Child a Cross to Bear leans on a strong ensemble — Esther Fernández, Demetrio González, Miguel Manzano — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1957.
