The Children of Sanchez is a 1961 book by the American anthropologist Oscar Lewis and tells the story of a Mexican family living in the slum of Tepito in Mexico City. Due to its criticisms of the ruling Partido Revolucionario Institucional Government and the fact that the book was written by a foreigner, the book was banned in Mexico for many years until the pressure from literary figures resulted in its publication in Mexico itself. The film based on the book was directed by Hall Bartlett and was released in 1979 and starred Anthony Quinn. It tells the story of an abusive womanizing widowed farmer trying to care for his family in Mexico City. Mangione won a Grammy for the film score and the film's title song arranged here also won a Grammy for best pop instrumental performance.
