The appearance of a white dove on the screen of the Cinema Palace caused a stir in the reactionary French press, which attacked Vittorio De Sica with accusations of promoting Picasso’s “ dove of peace . ” However, no amount of newspaper hype can hide the fact that the film “Miracle in Milan” was greeted at the festival by creative film workers with exceptional enthusiasm. An all-time classic that stands out even in De Sica's films. He is known for realistic films, but in this film there is a wonderful mix of reality and fantasy.
