So mysteriously say the towns- people of Milagro, New Mexico. Population 426. This quaint Mex- ican-American borough is slowly dying, their 300-year old heritage being literally uprooted by the shiny bulldozing blade of real estate developers. The only patch of Milagro Val. ley not owned by Devine Land Development is Parcel 1477. Par. cel 1477 belongs to generations down bean farmer turned strug- gling mechanic Joe. When Joe one day kicks an adjacent neld water gate in financial frustra- tion, I-Chiwawah! Instant irriga- tion. Trouble is it's Joe beanneld and the State's water.

They rig. ure wrong. " A _ The town of Milagro nghts back through a delightfully offbeat commune of sympathetic but cause-crazy characters. Milagro means miracle in Err glish. That's exactly the word for actor/director Robert Redford’s second directorial achievement since family drama Ordinary Peo- ple. Redford with scene-wrights David Ward (The Sting) and Milagro novelist John Nichols spent six years fine-tuning Mila- gro for the screen. The result is sun-drenched mag- ic, in down-to-earth fairy tale. But there's no castles, no knights in shining armour and no fire-brew thing dragons. Rather, Redford introduces a jovial suds sipping pig, and a accordion-playing Mila- gro angel who lives to jig in dusk lit fields, as he watches over enchanting El Morante, Mila- gro's oldest and wisest member. ""Redford has assembled a bump- er crop ensemble cast including Chick Vannera (Yanks) as Joe }‘ 4%? 987 Gore OAtt, ls CLEARANCE CENTRES KING CENTRE MALL BLOUSES Mall Hours: Mon. Tues.

Milagro is charged with warmth, compassion and gentle humor, creating earthy senti- ment, natural rather than far- fetched. In this town, when you talk to saints and angels they talk back. Ali you have to do is feed them tomale sauce, tacos and beer, sprinkled with blind faith. Milagio is political, but it's an abstract whimsical premise and it's hard to tell right from wrong. Milagro pop. 426 merely want to sustain their life and culture. La musica, and la fiesta in this hometown. For what good is a hometown, if everyone you know is gone. The Milagro Beanfield War is today's careless progress against yesterday's pride, in a glowing tale that makes you feel so good you‘ll want to jig down the aisles.
