NEVER TAKE NO FOR AN ANSWER
(Anthony Haveiock-Allan) ORE than two years after its release in Britain, Never Take No for An Answer (directed by Maurice Cloche and Ralph Smart) turned up in Wellington the other day on a double-feature programme. Based on Paul Gallico’s The Smalj Miracle, it is about the efforts of a seven-year-old war orphan to get permission to take his sick donkey into the crypt where St. Francis lies. Only the Pope can help, and so many people stand between him and Pepino. This unpretentious little production, which was filmed in Italy, comes off pretty well. Vittorio Manunta is a most appealing small boy in a part which is, if anything, underplayed-that is probably why the ending is so moving and effective. ema SE aN anf eee ame en ee a me ee ee
