¡Bienvenido Mr. Marshall! (Welcome Mr. Marshall!)

A small Castilian town, Villar del Río is alerted to an upcoming visit by American diplomats; the town begins preparations to impress the American visitors, in the hopes of benefiting under the Marshall Plan. Hoping to demonstrate the side of Spanish culture that the visiting American officials will be more familiar, the citizens don unfamiliar Andalusian costumes, hire a renowned flamenco performer, and re-decorate their town in Andalusian style. A flamenco impresario (Manolo Morán) who has spent time in Boston advises the locals to think of what they will ask from the Americans.
