De La Salle Film Debuts
Fifty summers ago, the Lasallian world was preparing to see the debut of a two-hour movie about the life of St. John Baptist de La Salle. Produced by Eurofilms Studios (Madrid), it was originally entitled El Senor de La Salle, but would be known to English-speaking audiences as Who Are My Own. The film stars a Hollywood actor of Spanish heritage, Mel Ferrer. The following three pages — two of which have scenes from the film — come from Lasallian Digest, Summer 1964, pp. 47-49.
