If you loved El manantial, try Y el mundo marcha

Lo que comparten
Both films are directed by King Vidor, and they both carry the bittersweet, outsider, tender mood tags, and they sit in Drama / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to El manantial, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Y el mundo marcha is
The idea here was to show an everyman struggling in the big city. John and Mary get married, start a family, and then struggle with the realities of city life in the early 20th century. It's a moving picture, if perhaps a bit obvious in its aims.
