About Los pobres van al cielo
When their parents die, brother and sister run away rather than go to an orphanage. Childless elderly couple adopts them, the neighborhood priest takes an interest in their sad story, and it goes on from there...
Directed by Jaime Salvador, Los pobres van al cielo leans on a strong ensemble — Evita Muñoz 'Chachita', Freddy Fernández 'El Pichi', Domingo Soler — 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 screen titles of 1951.
