Miracle in Milan (Criterion Collection)

In post-WWII Italy, an orphanage-reared man (Francesco Golisano) is gifted with a magic dove by the ghost of the kindly woman (Emma Gramatica) who took him in as an abandoned infant. The divine gift may be the only hope for his shantytown neighbors from being exploited for the oil found under their humble plot. Vittorio de Sica's compassionate, neo-realist fantasy-dramedy also stars Paolo Stoppa, Guglielmo Barnabò. 96 min. Standard; Soundtrack: Italian; Subtitles: English; featurettes; more. In Italian with English subtitles.
