  1. We've had some Views on this question, but no answers. If anyone else got curious, I did get the answer from another source. The movie is *Erendira* (1963). The Source story is entitled The Incredible and Sad story of Innocent Erendira and Her Heartless Grandmother. The info I've been able to find seems to confirm that the story has some standing in Spanish Language Lit. The author is Gabriel Garcia. It seems it's going to be hard to find a copy; I'll probably find another translation and read it though.

  2. Correct, Sixes, and please take the thread for remembering _that_. 1994 Chinese origional, with the title in English rendered as *Eat Drink Man Woman*. The remake, 2001's *Tortilla Soup* placed the story among Mexican-Americans. Both were delightful. Both had a lot to say about relationships in very close functioning families. For me, a favorite feature is Raquel Welch's performance as the disappointed mother in the remake. When that woman decides to throw a tantrum, that tantrum aint't got a chance. It get's throwed!
