Longinos! Who would have expected.
- Let me, Mr. Fontiveros! "His pale shade is rather.
- They said you were dead. - They do not take evil.
And anyway - how old are you?
I was already a grandfather when they invented the cinema.
And I think I will live for a hundred years, with God's grace.
And probably without her too.
I'm a priest, Quintanilla, it's my orphans.
You have to wait, now they have trials.
Future Christian children!
What kind of fools ?!
On your knees! It will get you for it!
I'm also a superproduction!
Even miserable coffee will not give!
I sit here from eight in the morning.
You do not know who my husband is. Truth?
In Don Norbert's time it was different here.
You'll see, I'll complain to Mr. Bonilla!
- And Marciano! - Lucia?
Fontiveros?
- Where did you come from? - I played amants before you were born.
I will not leave so! I look like Ali Baba and forty brigands!
And this turban - without eggs! Lucia, how do I look?
Blas?
- So you all play in this movie? - What, surprised?
- You know she's coming? - Macarena?
Yes, I read in newspapers, in France.
- Game Queen, of course. - Yeah.
What a coincidence that you come back at the same time.
- Yes, coincidence. - I also do for the king!
- Do you play Ferdinand Catholic? - He would like to.
The role is small, but I look like a star. I am the king of the Moors.
I play for Boabdil himself, and what!
You will not guess who plays my mother.
Rosales.
- Rosa? Is he here? - Yes.
She returned recently from South America. He plays at the Maria Guerrero Theater.
He makes money for bread, like everyone else.
- You will see our decorations. - Finally! Comares Tower...
goes there - to the Myrties Courtyard.
And note for cypresses! Because you will break them!
Venancio! Please, make the clouds brighter, let them shine!
- It's supposed to be Granada, not '' Wichrowe hills ''! - Honey!
- We have a guest. - I've only been missing guests here!
Hi, Julián.
Very nice this Alhambra.
Holy Mother! Virgin Mary!
You look like you are he saw the ghost.
What a ghost there!
Oh my God!
- Blas Fontiveros? - Do we know each other? - Yes but…
You probably do not remember me. I brought you coffee, 20 years ago.
- This is Bonilla's nephew. - Pepe Bonilla, I'm sorry.
Director's assistant. I'm very pleased.
Mrs. Gandía, you urgently need a costume!
They will still be driving us...
- See you later. You will tell us everything. - Of course.
Castillo, Mister Spiegelman wants to watch with you matte painting.
My God!
- It was nice... - Come and see the palace. Fantastic!
Let's go, Blas. You will see how to be you are ruled by Americans.
- Castillo has not changed anything. - Please?
Do not make me laugh.
- And what happened? - He got married! - No! Seriously?
- Unbelievable but true. - So it's not anymore... He healed?
There is no cure for it. But you will not believe who you married.
Well, finally talk.
FROM…
- With who? - With Lucia!
- What are you talking about! - I am telling you. You'll see it yourself.
- So he changed? - No, she went to the other side.
- Speak more clearly. - She became a lesbian.
- So why...? - It's a kind of marriage.
For the preservation of appearances.
This is very good, but... Is it already done?
Almost like this.
- Beautiful. - Thank you. - Work of art.
Emilio Ruiz is a great artist. I'll introduce someone to you.
Blas, let me!
Mr. Spiegelman, film producer. Mr. Berman, screenwriter.
Blas Fontiveros, Spanish director, very good director.
Nice to meet you.
- I'm very pleased. - My friend.
Jordan, look at the camera.
Julián, and John Scott is not there?
It was thanks to him that I became a director, he was delighted with his "Fiery horse".
He was a master.
I thought he had already withdrawn.
- Unfortunately, you've thought well. - How is it?
Since he has arrived, he is sitting in a hotel, going only to the bar.
He was not here yet. He has a problem.
Bonilla! Come here!
What is this production? You have to organize a welcome party!
We promised the Americans that tonight...
Do not tell them, there will be a surprise. Are you going with us.
- Justino, we're going to Mrs Fuencisla. - This is.
Tailoring Enter without knocking
Will she be ready for Monday?
- Jorge is in Burgos. - What's he doing there?
He serves in the army. He's 21, you do not know?
My God.
He is a military doctor. And how handsome!
He will come for a pass, for his sister's wedding.
Magdalena...
Is getting married?
Please - at least you remember their names.
I will have to dress elegantly.
- For what? - For the daughter's wedding.
Are you crazy? Do you want to ruin your life?
- Do not even approach them. - I am their father. - You were!
Do you think that you can be resurrected when you are comfortable?
Now they have a different father. When you ran out, he helped us a lot.
Arturo...
he was a real father to them.
You have never been - even if you lived with us.
Either you had photos or you were with that slut.
- It was a long time ago. - What will you say - in another life?
And what career she did...
You are doing well too.
Sure.
What else?
You know...
You look very beautiful.
You always had very nice dialogues.
It was worse with the action.
I am your husband.
Not any more.
I was widowed after you.
Where did you stay?
In the pension, at Gran Vía.
You have a job?
Not yet.
Do you have any views?
I was at the record label this morning.
- I can `t take it. - Do not be an idiot.
Take.
Thank you very much.
I do not know if such pleasant surprises are healthy.
Exactly, they could die of the heart.
Before the liberation of the camp, I had no contact with anyone.
Then it was too late.
I learned from my sister...
that they considered me dead. And the curia annulled my marriage.
Ana got married a second time.
It even came to me - for whom.
I thought that if I'm dead, then let it stay that way
- and start all over again. - Where have you been for so many years?
- In France. - Did you work somewhere?
Where it was possible: as a bricklayer, postman...
Once I got a job at the cinema: I was an electrician, a cart...
Once even the director's third assistant.
Excuse me, Mr. Fontiveros, they ask...
- in which camp you were. - In Mauthausen.
It's good that you came back, my friend.
And you, Rosales...
- Why did you come back? - I...
I made a mistake - I fell in love in Argentinian and founded my own troupe.
This handsome boy could be your son.
Not a son -
grandson.
But how he danced tango!
Tango... Not bad with you he danced, son of a bitch.
He took everything away from me. I returned without a penny, completely lost...
and start again in our century
it's quite hard, but what to do.
- I'm fooling around - It's in the theater, it's in the cinema. - Do not complain like that anymore.
Here, in three days they pay as much as in the theater for three months.
Cinema has no future. The Lumiere brothers have already said this.
Is there any less certain occupation?
- Look... - Mr. Fontiveros... - How the business revolves around here.
Mr. Berman and Mr. Spiegelman listened to what you were saying
and they ask you if you would like...
direct in the second team.
- Seriously? - Yes.
Because…
our second director is good for nothing, he is after acquaintance.
- This is the director's son-in-law. - I think they think you're a Jew,
- how both of them. - Let them think so.
You would shoot the plein-airs, extras...
- It's a good job. - Whatever you need.
I do not sleep on money.
Mr. Spiegelman, I do not know how to thank you...
Please, do not thank me, we need a real professional...
- Do not stare like that. - I? And you?
You were staring at this Gypsy yourself.
If you agree, they are delighted.
I do not believe - I will he worked with John Scott.
- I could make him coffee. - For the Americans!
- They give us jobs and dollars. - In order to...
- free us from the conspiracy in Salamanca. - '' Conference. ''
- What conference? - A bunch of sadnesses says
that you need to do social cinema that reflects reality.
Little misfortune in life, it's still showing them in the cinema.
Przyjemniaczki!
I understand them, but appeal for realism in Spain
it's the lack of realism.
You have to make comedies to make people happen They were laughing because life is too heavy.
Say, what are we doing here for a hundred devils?
Two Jews make a film about Queen Isabella of Castile?
What did I lose in this forgotten country?
We have not lost anything.
We found '' non-transferable funds '' -
is that what it is called?
And the protection of generalissimo Franco.
- Do you have scruples? - Scruples?
I am a film producer - I go where there is money.
Charo, dress these Moors somehow,
this is not the first communion, only a battle!
And this? Not from this era.
- Cutting! No no! - Stop!
Stop!
Cutting!
Where did you get from? this idiot, Bonilla ?!
- He's not good. - This is not our statistician.
- So what's he doing here? - It's the guard of the Guardia Civil,
they gave us their - they are guarding the weapon.
- He wanted to perform in the movie. - What are you fucking?
You can not work with such people!
Please tell him that he fell out well, praise him...
I interrupted the photos. If Mr. Scott saw it,
he would think that I am an idiot!
Very good, great!
You can change. Thank you!
Alright, bought!
Okay... I'm going.
All suits checked. I'm not needed anymore.
Castillo, really, I feel sorry for you...
- He did you a good job. - He had strength in his hands, he smashed my face.
He could have killed me. Bloody thug.
And the house looks like - I am most sorry for sixteenth-century silver candelabras.
I'm going back to the studio, I have a lot of work to do.
They stole his candelabra, which he himself collapsed...
as we were shooting 'Lioness from Castile'.
On the place!
How do you explain to the commander that you lost your hat?
I left it here. He must be somewhere.
- Where are you? - Here!
I will be back in the moment.
You will be kind enough to wait in the living room.
And what now?
- Please check in the book. - I do not have to.
I remember well what you wrote.
So…?
If you came for payment...
What would you do to keep the foreman?
Well... I could leave him.
Long live the Bride!
It came out great! They will be delighted.
Like Eisenstein!
Do not worry, you did it's fantastic.
They're coming.
- And did not Mr. Scott come? - He is sometimes,
sometimes it's gone. Easy, you can meet him.
My congratulations.
Well done.
We are glad that you are with us.
- Blas Fontiveros? - Yes, it's me.
- You will come to the police station with us. - At the police station? Why?
- You'll find out there. - This must be some mistake.
What will they think about me?
- Please, help us! - What am I accused of?
Let's go!
What are these people?
I think the secret police.
Please, let's go!
Remember, just do not screw. This is an order from the top.
No worries. Everything is missing here, but not accidents...
There's a bunk there.
Good evening.
- Pepe Bonilla, assistant director. - I'm very pleased.
Welcome!
Miss Granada, is it true that Ava Gardner did
Frank Sinatra and your fuss at one of the restaurants?
Let's not talk about it anymore. Especially that Ava is also here.
- You became an American - You do not want to be a Spanish lady anymore? - What a type!
I can not stop suddenly to be Spanish.
It's in itself.
But now I live there, I work there and I pay taxes.
- It's a more practical solution. Honess, one question...
"Dżąns" is pronounced.
So, Mr. Jones... What in our country do you like the most?
Certainly women.
There is nothing more beautiful than a Spanish woman.
Mr. Jones says that the Spaniards...
That they are the most beautiful.
What will you say about your affair with Car Grant?
We are good friends, nothing more.
People believe what journalists are inventing,
but that you believe it yourself, it's ridiculous.
Half of this is nonsense.
If I were so affectionate, I would not have to play movies.
Why did you dedicate your Oscar to your father when he is dead and could not hear it?
Because I owe everything to him. Also this profession -
I loved him thanks to him as a child.
I wanted to give him justice, which he deserved,
- and he did not know her during his lifetime. - Beautifully said!
Mr. Spiegelman, when will Mr. Scott talk to us?
Mr. Scott is resting after the trip.
This will be his 192th movie.
Throughout his long career, he did not give a single interview.
I'm sorry to bother you... Please rate Ferdinand's costume.
How do I look?
- The prettiest king I've ever seen. - Catholic enough
Should I still carry a crucifix?
He knows that, he is Irish.
Miss Granada, we're ready.
On the place!
We start the pictures!
Matylda, what do you feel as a historical consultant of this film?
What am I supposed to say... I feel great emotions.
Because it's a great production in every inch.
No doubt this movie is...
Celestino, you're not doing it for the first time.
This is undoubtedly the most expensive film ever shot in Spain.
Manolo, turn on the red light! And silence back there!
Attention, we're shooting! Run away!
I see you, run away! Director, we're ready!
Get Ready!
Silence!
We are ready now!
Mr. Jones, photo for the newspaper. With a newspaper.
Everyone ready? Silence please!
On the place! Camera!
- Gum. Gum!… - We're shooting!
Scene 314. Shot 1.
- Director... - Action.
Izabelo!
Ferdinand!
But... it's indecent.
This is unacceptable!
No, no and no! Stop!
- It's painted like Komancza! - Do not talk during the shot...
What is not allowed? Slowly - I'm doing it!
- This movie starts wrong! - Are we shooting or not? - Yes Yes...
- In the cinema… - Neither in the cinema, nor in the theater, nor in the circus!
No! Excluded!
This is a complete historical mumble!
Alive!
It's outrageous! You have no shame!
- You, take this lady away from here. - Otherwise…
This has nothing to do with history! It's some American rubbish!
They are Americans, so what should be: German, Spanish?
Whar are you doing sir?!
- I'm trying to go, madam. - I do not agree! It's a kidnapping!
- I'll complain to Franco himself! - She's crazy.
How good to have it on the plan of the historian...
Typically, the screenwriter is the first to leave.
Bonilla!
- I want Mr. Scott to judge it. - No, wait in the wardrobe.
- Nobody called you! - What's happening, are we shooting or not?
You are sure...
Julián Torralba - Gary Jones. King Boabdil - King Ferdinand.
- Tell me Gary. - I am pleased to. - Me too.
- Welcome to crazy people. - I do not understand it in a tooth.
I'm learning English.
Very right.
I will tell you something... The director is soakord. Understand?
- Too long in Hollywood. - Hollywood! My dream.
Movies... in Spain... weak money.
It's sad.
You need to meet my agent. Bill!
Mr. Larsen from the William Morris Agency, and this is Julián... Torralba.
- I understand but not all. "This is Mr. Larsen from the William Morris Agency.
Mister Jones, we can shoot!
Responsibilities, see you!
From William Morris?
Scene 315. Shot 1.
Share.
Izabelo!
Ferdinand!
Boabdil accepts surrender.
Granada is laying on your feet.
Spain…
she is yours.
No, Ferdinand.
Spain is ours.
Our.
Cutting!
We have!
Thank you all!
- It was good, right? - Yes.
We became friends with Dr. Rosen.
Or rather - Rosenberg. He is a Jew.
He escaped from Hitler to Hollywood and changed his name
for more American ones. Each of us did something:
one nose, the other something else... And Rita Hayworth...
For what he did to her, he should get the Nobel Prize.
- From literature? - No, dark! From medicine.
He made her nose...
But which! And I'm sorry to say that -
he moved her hair up here, because the poor woman had no face.
And it is not called at all Rita Hayworth!
Only Rita Cansino and speaks Spanish like us.
- Is he from Andalusia? - No, but her father is from Seville.
- It shows... in her movements. - She was a dancer!
One hundred times better than Ginger Rogers.
Have you seen her with Fred Astaire in 'You Were Never Lovelier'?
'' My beloved '' - a wonderful movie.
- Why do they always have to change titles? - Who would understand this.
Why did I talk about it? I already know!
Doctor Rosen, the surgeon of the stars,
he lives next to us in Beverly Hills and on Sunday he comes to my paella.
And how to do surgery, I am his guinea pig.
I'm happy because he did everything to me.
Here, here and here - everywhere.
I love operating rooms.
I could operate without interruption.
- You are weird. - And Macarena did something to her?
- No, she does not have to. - How much a man will endure in life.
- It was better to stay in Argentina. - What would you do there?
- Even Perón had to run away. - You knew you would be
did she work with such a legend?
- There is not much left of it. - But he has more Oscars anyway
than Sáenz de Heredia Guild Awards.
I talked to an agent from William Morris.
Those from William Morris - it's power!
In Hollywood you will not even go to the toilet without an agent.
Only Cary Grant can do well without him.
Because he is already a star. But how do you start and want to fight...
- No, he's so stingy! - Is it true that our doll was spinning with him?
With who? With Cary?
- Where from! It's 'gossip'. - So what?
Rumors.
The label wanted very much, but nothing came of it.
Because he could not leave.
- Are you saying that he is too...? - Ba, Cary...
And many other. Like men - I do not want to exchange names,
- but full of such there. - Something like!
- Dinner for the queen. - Thank you. That's for now.
Goodbye.
Fontiveros disappeared.
They do not know anything at the ministry...
he is not in any police station, he is imprisoned - He has fallen under the ground.
I brought you dinner. Eat, because it will cool down.
Garlic soup - lick your fingers!
- I'm not hungry. - You have to eat something.
My stomach tightened, my nerves.
What are you nervous?
I do not know. Maybe it's the first day of pictures...
Yes, the debut of the debutant!
Do not putty to me. What's happening?
Trini, I really do not know. I feel a hug here.
Tell me everything, you'll feel better soon.
You know: you think it will not come
and suddenly comes.
Already on the first day of the pictures?
- You have no idea how it was in good times. - Good shit there.
- Like the Egyptian pyramids! - Seriously? - I am telling you.
- So that you could see us cursing this damned basilica. - Fucking rock.
A couple of them were overwhelmed and did not even bury them.
A few? Much more.
Us, old, few have left - now they need people with knowledge.
- '' Qualified Forces ''. - So what are you doing here?
- I'll be better here. - Who do you need?
Do you see it there?
He was the head of the trade union of miners.
The guy has bigger balls than the whole fucking cross.
They sent him from prison here.
- Like a healthy mountain air... - He's sick, but he's still alive.
He should die among children and grandchildren, right?
- Yes. - Well, that's right.
- At least they give you food. - It's just that we can forge these rocks.
And they pay you. Modestly, but they pay.
'' Modestly '' - Boy... Those in the movie live in a different world.
They pay half of us minimum salary: 6 pesetas.
- Of which three take the government. - At least there are three of you.
One is rewarding for food, the other goes to the account so that you have how you leave.
One stays. It's always something.
Only that this one goes for the family - through the office of your city.
- How will it happen that the mayor is honest... - You'll sooner win the lottery.
... your family will get it.
You probably are right. But I can tell you again about Mauthausen.
Please, not this one. I have bad dreams after these stories.
I am only dreaming of kobitka there.
Watch out!
Leg!…
Do not pull! Do not touch!
- Only the leg or something else? - I'm in pieces... Do not move me!
- Relax... - Oh my God!
A miracle that you live.
I am already choking on this Izabela.
Terror, it's in my throat.
Look, Mr. Scott.
Again the same.
Mister Scott...
Let's talk about my role, because I do not understand her.
I am listening to you, sweetheart.
I'm just reading a biography this woman
and learns extraordinary things that I had no idea before.
It seemed to me that she was a saint!
She did good...
And she threw Jews out of Spain. The same with Muslims.
She organized the Inquisition...
and in addition she was dirty -
she vowed she would not wash until she got Granada.
So…
In any case, this is not in the script at all.
Mister Scott?
Shit, he fell asleep.
And who, doggie, will explain it to me now?
Jordan, help me...
Who is she?
Holy or dirty?
If it's different than it really was - I need to know.
I do not value her either. What am I supposed to say?
I do not know, this is your script.
Theoretically.
How is it?
My last name is not in the final credits, and good.
- Have you seen the '' Pompeii Last Days ''? - Yes, wonderful.
I pity you.
My last name does not appear there either. I could not sign it.
I had to leave because of McCarthy's assault.
I'm on the black list.
This is terrible.
But let someone explain to me what to play.
I wrote a script about Columbus...
but Mr. Franco said he prefers a film about Queen Isabella.
I had to change everything. I had 3 days for it and 6 bottles of whiskey -
Franco's people were watching over us all the time.
So it's best if we both are...
do your politely and sit quietly.
This is my advice.
Well, we came up.
Besides, it will help you get in touch with Mr. Scott.
Why?
- Apparently you were at Strasberg in the Actors Studio. - Yes.
He better not know about it.
- Lentils today. - Stars are transferred.
- We will eat with everyone. - Finally!
- He's in Cuelgamuros. - As a prisoner?
Something like that! Stars are coming down to earth.
- What, I bother? - Where from. How nice.
Everything to us.
Yes. We'll find out about you firsthand.
That if I say something wrong?
- You could write scripts. - I was just chatting with the writer.
About my role, because...
And what do you want to know about her? Izabela... Catholic. And all clear.
That's why this country looks like this.
You have to learn! Did you really at Actors Studio?
- And you met Marlon Brando? - Sure! Bore -
he kept calling her. They told him he was handsome and he believed.
Because he is, maybe not?
Fontiveros is in Cuelgamuros, don Marciano told me.
I'll find out more.
- What is this? Prison? - Worse.
- Cemetery? - God!
In the mountains of Guadarrama, they build a cross - gigantic!
Prisoners of war work there.
That's rude!
Theoretically, prisoners are gone.
- And Blas is sitting there? - Yes.
- Because his wife got married... -... for the Secretary General of Phalange.
- Well, please. - She already knew what she was doing.
She is not stupid!
So this bastard locked him up to get rid of him?
After what the poor guy has gone through, he probably feels like in a resort.
This is a labor camp.
'' Reducing the penalty in exchange for work. ''
- What are they accusing him of? - It's not America.
- No, but… - It's Spain, honey.
We are all guilty and you have to prove innocence.
- You have to do something. - Yes, pray for him to leave quickly.
And what can we...?
A handful of poor comedians.
At all…
not such poor people.
You're welcome.
Can I know who you are?
From the film crew.
Really?
- Strange, I did not see you. - Chief of wheelchairs.
- How big is the boss called? - Leonardo Sánchez.
But tell me Leo.
Sure - and Nardo. Do not strain yourself.
Funny lady.
Where do you see 'miss'...
kid?
Girl…
who seems to be a star.
You will see stars when I hit you, if you approach even a millimeter.
You can know what are you waiting for?
Because I do not have time.
Maybe you did not like it?
And am I saying something?
You do not say... but you do.
What? Maybe you did not like it?
The first - yes...
but the latter...
I liked everything.
I will go to the mountains, I will rest in Sierra Nevada.
You already know what a 'real' woman means.
- Beats like a butcher. - You see, you like her.
Please.
Trini, where you put it my ring?
Hi, Macarena.
You are... Ana.
You have a good memory.
I want to ask you for something. It's about Blas.
You must know that Blas and I...
A little too late to explain.
It is true.
Excuse me.
It was-passed, but now...
He has serious problems.
- So I've heard. - I'm worried about him.
We must help him.
We?
You.
I?
They can visit them on Sundays families. I'll get you a pass.
I'm not from my family.
My daughter's documents.
He's spending his honeymoon in Majorca.
My children do not know anything.
I'm not like her.
But you're an actress.
Thank you.
Good day.
- Are you here for the first time? - Yes, I want to visit my father.
- Fine. - Thank you.
I know this face...
- I saw her somewhere. - Sure, in the cinema. Come on.
Dad!
Dad, I'm so happy! God!
How does dad feel? What happened to the leg?
- Pretend I'm your daughter. - What?
Daughter!
- Macarena... - Magdalena, stupid!
Yes, Magdalena.
- How is your mother feeling? Your brother? - Well.
Wydoroślałaś.
Babies licking their fingers.
Already, let's not dad like that...
- Because there will be trouble with my heart again. - Yes...
I have a weak heart.
Soon…
I'll be right back, I'm going to talk to my... Mac's daughter... he's crazy.
You do not know how much we miss you.
Especially mom.
Bullshit. She married another, and now she misses him.
Look what I brought you.
Cigars...
honey, a few books...
Scarf from Trini...
and a letter from his wife.
- What does he write? - I do not know, I have not read.
- I'm sitting here. - You men...
for you everything is to blame for women.
She does not wish you bad. I came because she asked me.
He is very worried.
I thought you wanted to come.
But I am...
Fontiveros...
You have to get out of here before something bad happens.
What are you doing? Are you crazy?
Kiss me like in good times.
Good times…
When was it?
Listen, we've got it enough trouble.
Are you in trouble?
What are you saying?
Blas...
It was a long time ago.
Macarena...
You can see for yourself that it is not allowed!
Last time, please. Even if I was going to be a legless cripple.
- What a person… - Last time.
Well… One last time.
- And give me peace! - Yes, peace...
- You are my saint. - Do not talk so much!
A beautiful piece of woman.
Is it really your daughter?
Granada.
Granado...
I am charmed by your spell
If you could speak
You would have told miracles...
Waterfall!
AND...
cutting!
You look beautiful, shit. You serve these years.
Thanks, Lucia, you are loved.
Give me, I'll help you.
- What are you doing? Are you crazy? - I just wanted to try.
Christ...
But not you first.
- Garbo tried too. - Seriously? Garbo?
You you're in luck!
Have you been... for a long time?
Men disappointed me. And now don Norberto...
- What's with him? - He died.
- He was already years old. - Yes.
- Only that he ended up on me. - This is terrible!
But he died happy. The bastard died with a smile on his face.
And you do not have enough guys anymore?
I'll tell you that no.
- Although I would like to... - We can start. Let's go!
And others?
- Ready? - Pepe! Where should I look?
- How is it? - Where will the horse come from? - Horse, yes...
- It's moving. - Then give me a marker.
Luismi! Where to look Miss Macarena?
I do not know, from this webcam site.
- To the left of the camera. - Or better look...
on him!
- That buggy. - It was missing.
Everyone ready?
- Camera! - Scene 237. Shot 1.
Share.
Cutting!
- Bought. - End of shot! Excellently!
Baby, there was a cut. Do not look at him anymore, come on.
We're taking a break, eat sandwiches!
- You have half an hour. - Thanks, Pepe.
Finish, I'll be right back.
Julián!
- And how? Now better? - A lot.
Because you looked like from the Three Kings procession. Soon, your big stage.
- Yes? Which? - '' Sigh Maura ''.
When Boabdil is crying, looking last time at Granada. It's great.
- Do I have to cry? It's easy! - I thought it was difficult.
Whence! When I'm crying, I'm crying! No problem.
"The Americans think of something sad then. - It's for the pedals.
- I have a reliable way. - Tell me how you do it.
Good, but it has to stay between us.
- Professional secrets, you understand. - Sure, I will be silent like a grave.
When I'm about to cry, I put my hand in my pocket...
I catch my egg... and I crush them - oh yeah...
Because you will be damaged!
Look.
Real tears!
Awesome.
No 'Stanislavski' there! I am from Actors Non-Studio.
Senior Macarena, we start!
Quick... In a moment!
Right now…
Only that no one can see you!
Jesus, Mario, Józef...
Trini, help me.
- Honey, will you never change? - You do not even know...
I have.
- A handsome hunk! Rare species. - Miss Granada,
- we are ready. - Me too. Almost!
Already.
Need help with the costume!
- And what? - What's that?
Was I right or wrong?
Probably yes, but what is it?
I said it was a 'real' woman.
Yeah. I just did not understand this 'Yes, yes, yes!'
What a dream. It means 'yes' in English.
That's all I know,
but why did she scream in English?
It's easy, honey - because her life, let's say 'emotional',
took place mainly in the United States.
Yeah. Sure.
In California, specifically.
Hey!
What do they give today? Konam from hunger!
It's from this...
We have to get him out of there.
But who?
- Where? - No jokes, you do not know this country.
This is not a MGM label.
Unbelievable, Castillo.
And whoever took you out of custody, how they locked you behind the public insult
- morality, because you did... - Baby, no details.
- We all know each other. - And to you, Lucia, who gave the first role?
Yes, but supporting. On the main - I wait all the time.
- And you'll wait. - And you, Julián? You were an electrician,
- who made you an actor? - Blas. It is true.
Exactly.
Do not look at me. I have already been a great actress when I met him.
And he was then... a small assistant director.
But he was the most handsome in the entire label.
My uncle was a taxi driver. He told me many times,
as Mr. Fontiveros sent him for various things until he once told him:
- '' Bonilla, you're in the team! '' - And how did he finish? As a pimp.
- Alfons, as they say. - We love him for all this...
- But should we endanger our lives? - It's no laughing matter, let's be serious.
- They can kill you - what's for them. - And it will be over.
Honey…
My tailor is rich. Sitter.
Hi, Julian.
- Are you still here? - Yes, student.
You learn! Sure... That's good.
Maybe... we'll go get a drink?
We will discuss joint plans for the future - in Hollywood.
Yes, Hollywood!
Real cinema is done there. Real movies.
Spain is too small for me. There is no…
roles for such a mature amateur as me.
And in Hollywood...
is... for example...
- Ronald Colman. - Ronnie, yes.
I know him well, he's my buddy.
There is also... Louis Calhern,
Charles...
Laughton.
Yes, they are great actors. I know them all.
'' Humpry '' Bogart. '' Charles '' Boyer...
Cholera.
Ow snap!
Forgive me for saying this, Julian, but...
you are too tense.
Bloody hell!
Dog mum!
You're nervous before tomorrow's scene?
Do not be afraid.
Do you know how I relax?
By stretching.
- It works great. Let... - Please.
And now... relax.
What is?
- Wait... - True, that's wonderful?
Please... Do not make eggs! Because I'm going to get angry!
What?
Should I release you? That's it?
What a bad luck...
Jammed up.
Real stocks.
Mad Spanish.
You have to call prop and armorer,
to open it, to kill the hedgehog!
Help!
Is there anyone?
I think we've been alone - just you and me.
You smell so good.
I love it when someone does not wash.
Why is it happening to me something like that? Just me.
Now you are mine.
You are my prisoner.
- So he can kiss? - What? Buzi? No!
- Give me! - No, Gary, hey, no!
I'll kill him. I swear I'll kill him!
Well…
we'll see what treasure there you hide.
Such a dark face...
and such a pale butt.
A wonderful contrast.
I do not believe…
- You did not think about running away? - It's easy to get away from here
but we would exchange one prison for another -
it's outside. We are not guarded, every moment someone runs away.
Especially on Sundays. During the summer they blow on the whole!
But they catch almost everyone - you have to have someone outside.
Influential people - like you!
The filmmakers?
What are you. We do not mean anything.
You three! To the tunnel, fast! You need to strengthen the stamps.
- The ceiling began to fall. - Right now.
- You stay, you will not do anything about the ball. - No! All three.
- You do not need legs for chopping. - Or to smoke.
Ride!
They'll tell you what to do.
Hurry! There is no time!
Take it.
You here... You here.
- And here you are. - And who are you?
What do you care? You have to listen! I am an engineer.
Engineer?
Fix everything well!
We do not want more accidents.
- Something stinks. - Why?
Such... engineer, I am a bishop.
Psiakrew... It looks bad.
Give me, I'll do it.
Go away.
- Run away! - Ramon, look out! Ramón!
It was set up.
They wanted to get you.
Poor Ramon.
Cutting!
Actors for close-ups, prepare actors on horseback!
- You look wonderful. - Shut up, I have a stage fright.
- Rosales, for a horse! - What?
Yes.
- Your close plan. - Do not take doubles, it's your stage.
- I will not get a horse for nothing! - How is it? - Anyway, there is nothing here about horses.
- Is. - Where? - Here.
'' Horse... ''
- That means: horse? - Scene 72. Shot 4.
Cry like a woman,
if you could not to defend it like a man.
A great actor! I'm impressed.
I told you.
You were great!
I had goose bumps. I did not cry a little.
You probably crumpled your balls, but you fell brilliantly.
What's up, Marlon Brando! It was at your place...
such a unique depth. And do not be offended, but your king
he had something... feminine!
Female?
Julián!
You earned for a day's work: The Americans are delighted.
- What happened to you? - Nothing, I keep peeling.
How not for it, it's for that - they beat me in the face!
Mr. Larsen...
I want to get you involved with a film about pirates with Errol Flynn.
I just do not believe it.
Errol Flynn!
You are so sensitive today... It's fearful to bring you good news!
It's easy to move.
We must act quickly! Before it's too late.
Quieter, here the walls have ears!
I think you have to do it on the day of the visit.
I will pretend to be his daughter, as recently...
I will lead him somewhere further, and there you will wait:
with a car and clothing.
- It's easy to say, but... - No, I do not see it.
I'm telling you...
I am delighted with Torralba. He suddenly became a great actor!
Charles Laughton is hiding.
- Something happened? - No!
More discretion! You can not talk here.
About what?
We will find a place...
outside the label.
But where?
Maybe come to the theater in the evening.
- In the theater... - After presentation.
Come to my wardrobe. He will be there at this hour
only guardian - anarchist. Catalan.
Excellently.
What you plan with your friends...
What is? Eavesdrop on other people's conversations?
Yes, I heard something... I know what is going on.
Forget what you have heard or I will forget about you!
Czary-mary and you disappear!
Listen, queen...
such action is not a job for amateurs.
I love you so much, so I will help you.
You?
Thanks, my superman.
Why should I trust you?
Because I know that.
And you and your coward band do not know about it.
And you have.
Yes, beautiful.
I also fight.
What are you fighting for?
For freedom.
The working class, of culture.
We have a secret organization.
We are not many, but not a few. What you want to do,
he can surpass you.
Are you not?
Maybe me too.
But I will try.
- Will you free Fontiverosa? - Yes.
Your Fontiverosa...
And by the way someone more important for the country and fight for freedom.
If we succeed, all hell broke loose. We just need to have a good plan.
Yesterday was much better: they clapped for 10 minutes.
Today, somehow colder, without life.
Everyone is here.
The earlier we start, the sooner we finish.
I looked through the picture plan, there is only one chance. But you need...
persuade Americans to surrender Granada to Madrid.
They want to do it outdoors.
Good, but let the mountains of Guadarrama play Sierra de Granada.
Mr. Spiegelman will agree: saves on diets and transport.
- We've exceeded the budget. - I will say that I will not go to Granada,
- because my father died there. - But he died in the prison in Cordoba.
- What are you talking about? - He did not die - he died of typhus.
- Like Federico García Lorca. - Yeah.
On that day the second team is about to shoot Christian driving charge.
A few extras would go astray in the mountains and go free Fontiverosa.
They will free him? Extras?
But you are stupid. What extras? We!
Guardians will be there - armed. They will shoot us!
- There are not many of them. Do not be a coward. - We can pull it out without any difficulty,
but how to get him to the border with France? They control the roads.
- When should we shoot this cavalry? - Next Saturday.
So we have some more time.
I wish that…
I will not be here because that's the day
we pack decorations and costumes, we load them on three trucks
and we're going with the whole corpse to Barcelona.
Queen, you must have talked.
Finished.
Attention, please, we're shooting!
The camera has gone!
Sir, the camera is going.
Share.
Cutting!
The end of the shot! Check the frames!
End of photos for the first team!
The second remains...
Thank you.
Faster, Trini!
Honey, you do not have to go with them!
Stop it, we've already talked about it.
Helmet yet.
- There will only be one goat? - Yes, go left then.
- You will see a goat - you turn left. - Well let's go.
Excuse me, sir, but this is the second team.
- They are horses... You can go. - He thinks he's a director.
It will be uncomfortable here.
There's no need to. Second team.
'' Communist Party of America ''. Mother, it's a communist!
Please, hide. It is very dangerous.
Let's go!
Leo, he wants to go with us.
For now! Good luck!
Jesus...
- What is? - He wants to go with us.
What we do?
I was here in 1937.
At the Brigade Lincoln.
Let's take it.
Thank you.
You are traveling with us.
Bonilla! Why can not I go?
- Because only Christians are going. - And she?
She is a Christian. Besides, she... proves it.
Get in, Luchi!
Julián, I want you apologize for everything...
Do not say anything. Please, not now!
I do not understand what you say, but... let's be friends.
Not friends! What friends?
Cholera.
These columns are Juanelos. They dragged them all the way from Toledo.
Come.
- Give me a hand... - Carefully…
- Do you want to smoke? - Not yet.
- You are not allowed. - Live once. - Right.
- You go a lot better. - I think so.
- So you do not need a cast. - What are you doing?
Santiago, are you crazy ?! Santiago!
Stop it, damn it!
Stay here until they come after you.
- After US? Who? - Does it matter?
Everyone will be welcome.
Everyone ready? Please, we're shooting!
We move together. At the bend we will overtake you,
so that horses will follow the camera!
Riders in twos!
Sure? We're shooting!
Camera! Ride! Share!
I love you too!
It's a male thing.
I started it and bring it to the end.
For Spain and Fontiverosa! Hold on, Blas!
What is it supposed to be? What is he doing here?
- Man, did you bounce? - Do not you like something?
'' There is the Jarama Valley in Spain,
which everyone knows so well... ''
What?!
This is not funny at all!
Twos! Twos!
There is a goat!
- So pretty! - Where?
- Good morning! - Hey!
- I'm too old for that. - Old and malicious. - And who says?
Are we going with this action? Because I'm nervous!
Juanelos - there!
- Do not shoot, it's you from the movie! - They will not eat without a pass!
- It's also from the movie, let it go. - I'm going to Christians,
- but Moors - no way! - Do not shoot!
Mother of God! What was that?
- What's happening? - Nothing.
They are blasting rocks.
- It's better to change the roll. - But there's a tape.
- Change her, damn it! - Create a new one.
I knew it would end badly!
- What was that? - Get ready, let's go. - Where?
Blas, I'm coming!
There is a goat! This way!
Trini...
It's small.
- I do not know how to thank you. - Write a letter to her after all.
We must get back to the plan before they return to the camp.
Thank you, queen.
Good luck!
Let them change, quickly! And to the truck!
No time for knightly greetings! You must change!
- Where's your second shoe? - I do not have. - What will we do?
It's hard, take mine.
Quickly, you have to go! Hurry, Blas!
Good luck, Fontiveros!
Let him be lucky. To him and us.
Goodbye!
Julián!
Castillo!
But stench!
It's cow shit. I did not cut myself.
And you?
Not yet.
For me, it's the smell of victory.
Everyone ready? Get Ready!
We're shooting back to the camp! The camera is coming!
- Thank you. Drive safely. - I'll eat a fabada for your health.
- See you later. - Be well, comrade.
You have documents here.
Your name is Antonio Fernández. Picture from 30 years ago,
- I only found one. - Come on, because they will leave without you.
No, Rosales promised that they would wait.
- Rosa? - Yes, Rosa.
Let's go.
We are going to sleep. It is a miracle that we live.
"My legs are still shaking. - I hurt my ass, I do not know what.
- From a horse. - You stay quiet, you could have ruined everything.
- I'm going to Pasapoga. - Now?
I must drink. Besides, I will have an alibi.
- Right. I'm going, too! - Exactly - alibi.
Go, baby. I'm going with them.
Really, how can you do so much?
- Men! - Luchi, do not wait for me!
I will not squint... I'm shaking.
Who would have thought? You were terribly bold.
I will prepare you a hot bath, relax a little.
- I will order supper for us. - I will not swallow anything.
Did your stomach shrink?
You always say that - and then you eat the whole pig!
O mother...
Me too, after these adventures, it squeezed inside...
From nerves.
I think someone is following us. Do not turn around.
We'll split around the corner.
Maybe he'll follow me, I'll try to get him.
We will meet in the theater, or never again.
- Good luck. - Thanks.
Now!
Be! Police!
Documents, please.
A little old photo.
Probably from last century. Will you come with me...
Come in.
Do not make noise.
It's her beloved. He is from Guardia Civil.
Boy! Where are you?
Hell!
- Can you know what we're waiting for? - One more minute, honey.
- It's late! - I know.
Do not tell them anything because they panic. The less they know, the better.
We are going in a moment.
I have to call.
- Listen… - Mom left the hospital.
- I'm sorry, this is a mistake. - It's me, you idiot!
- Rosa, I did not recognize you. - No names, Trini!
I forgot that I was going to be using a cipher.
Thank you very much! Kiss my mother.
Something like that… Furious like a basilisk.
We drive!
- Hold on. - Thanks. - Let me succeed.
I will not calm down until they cross the border.
I'll light a candle Our Lady of Macarena.
You are an atheist!
Can not I?
- What's happening? - Relax, it's me.
Let me sleep here tonight.
I am dying of fear, I will not fall asleep by myself.
Maybe we'll change the orientation for old years?
Good evening.
Please get off, we have to search the truck.
Pick up.
As Munoz Seca said before they shot him:
'' You can take away my home and money, even my life... '
but you will not receive one thing for me -
the fear that I feel. '
Staff are going here, mainly actors.
Good evening Mrs.
Good evening.
Rosales, it's for us!
- Hide. - No. - Wait...
- Here. - No! - Hide!
I will not hide!
'' Do not lose heart, daughter, be brave.
Soon you will marry the wealthiest nobleman of Castile -
the one they call
A knight from Olmedo. '
'' With a dagger and a lance he struck the bulls like Hektor.
All in armor, like Achilles besieging Troy...
similar to Adonis. Let heaven help him!
You will not be at peace with him.
The unfortunate one whose husband is a fool! '
Why do you open the door and interrupt us in the attempt?
- We have a premiere tomorrow. - Excuse me,
- but we have to search the car. - Do your duty...
search, but let us work for God's sake!
Please keep doing yours.
Which '' next '' when you interrupted my monologue!
I can not go on, I have to start again, da capo!
'' I am not who I was. I died and I was reborn,
but not as don Mendo. I am a being, a chimera, a stray, human shadow.
Without a country, no name -
Confusion.
A man who is afraid of man. "
Thank you very much. Good night.
- What a mad baba! - Terribly puffed up.
- For him - quite normal. - Another conversation.
- Are you crazy? - I?
I recite Lope de Vega, and you are leaving with 'Revenge of Don Mendo'!
You mentioned Munoz Seca, and I remember Don Mendo still from college.
Did I do something wrong?
Nothing that I know of.
You stopped noticing me.
- Not to arouse suspicion. - This is because?
You do not look at me either.
I do not want to raise suspicions.
I thought you were ashamed of me.
I?
Yes you.
For now.
God, there will be an affair.
- What is she doing, she's crazy? - A bit like that.
It just was missing!
What will you do next?
When?
After this movie.
Next movie.
I ask what you want to do in life.
Would you not like to travel?
Explore the world?
- You want to tell me something? - Are you stupid, are you just pretending?
The movies are over and people are parting.
That's how it happens.
Some trains only depart once.
And if you do not get in...
- You said something very smart. - And so be it.
What else should I tell you? I will not kneel in front of you, because I would destroy the costume.
What did she tell you that you were so wide-eyed?
Something.
One more Leo. And one more headache.
This change of air does not serve her.
Work on. Goodbye.
God...
Franco is here!
Franco is riding!
Go Caudillo!
I have it somewhere! I will not talk to him!
- Macarena, you have to... - You must. The bastard killed my father!
- It's your president. - Nothing similar. I am already an American.
- It's character! - Translate to us.
- I do not want to talk to him! - That's what we know. - Do you speak English?
- He came! - Are you stupid ?!
- Spiegelman! - Pepe, she's crazy. He will destroy my movie.
- No worries… - Begone! - I'll talk to her.
- Miss Granada, it's me, Pepe. - And Julián!
Can you?
We will talk to her - with our little one. No, I'm sorry!
I will not meet with this skur-bastard!
Miss Macareno, it's very important for production.
For friendly Spanish-American relations.
Pepe, have you forgotten that my father died in prison?
He and many others, but it's good that they removed the blockade,
that Spain is opening, they are coming to us people, that you have come back!
The Americans give us a job and new possibilities.
Let this country happen it will finally develop!
- Is this development for you? - You're absolutely right,
but if this movie succeeds, there will be more - it's just the beginning!
Let's not spoil it in advance.
Macarena, you only have to say hello to him, smile...
- and stand in front of the camera. - He just wants to see it...
and he will go, he is very busy.
Poisoning people's lives - from morning to evening!
- God, they probably suspect something. - No, because we would be sitting in a box!
Let me tell you one thing: we survived Hitler, who played the main role...
so we can take a picture of yourself with this supporting actor!
Share…
What are we waiting for?
It's him.
Who?
'' Il Duce ''...
Something like that.
My uniform!
- How do I look? - Don Bosco. - Trini, try it.
I will do what I can.
- Not too much makeup? - Less than for the 'former' funeral.
- But you're mean. - I am. Why did you leave for me?
Caudillo is riding, everyone is in place!
It's Franco. Stand in a row.
First, Americans!
Mister Spiegelman, mister Scott, please...
First, Americans! Félix, take it from me! Everyone ready.
His Excellency generalissimo Francisco Franco!
Excellency... Pepe Bonilla from Spanish production. - I am pleased to.
- Producer, Mr. Spiegelman. - We know each other.
Welcome to the set.
- Julián Torralba, right? - At your service. - I liked your films.
- But it was... - In the late Middle Ages.
- Probably before the war. - Yes.
'' Captain of Flanders tercios. '' You were great.
- Thank you, Excellency. - You have not played much lately.
Yes, but now I'm working again.
Who works for Spanish cinema, works for Spain.
Mr. John Scott, director.
- We do not do that anymore. - It's already out of use.
And these medals? Have you fought in the First World War?
In the first, in the second...
and I will fight in the third, if necessary. This...
for Normandy - Omaha Beach.
And those for the Pacific, I lost my eye there.
I fought against fascism,
for democracy and freedom.
He... fought in the First World War and in the second one too.
We military are, above all, soldiers - one big family.
You military are...
- military! - I know all your movies.
No one, like you, could represent military and war.
He loves all your movies. And an American artist...
I know perfectly - Mr. Gary Jones. I am pleased to.
It is an honor for me, your Excellency!
I liked it very much in '' Piracie Pyszałku ''.
He liked your film very much - pirate...
'' Pirate prancing ''! Thank you.
Screenwriter, Mr. Berman.
So my colleague. I also wrote the script.
I'm sorry... I do not want to disturb, work on.
He said that too he wrote the script.
Really?
And they did it?
Sure. All Spaniards have seen this movie.
I can imagine. Good though?
Lets say that… it's a separate category.
Good morning, Miss Granada.
Good morning, Excellency.
- You're a big star. - I think so, nice.
Hollywood star. We do not want any scandal now,
who would threaten our young friendship with the American people.
It's wonderful.
- Production will stop us. - Or worse:
arrest her and we will end the film with Ania Mariscal.
- She does not speak English. - What are they talking about?
As I know a small one, he can splash something stupid.
You have to spin. He wants to see the plan. Give me a megaphone!
Everyone on the place! Camera, sound, trolleys - we're shooting!
Miss Granada, please do not think I am a naive child.
- You can be for me. - You are abusing my patience.
We have reasonable suspicions about your participation in recent events.
What?
You are lucky to be an American citizen.
- That you know. I am very happy. - I would have a Spanish arrested
and you would have been in prison.
That's how it was with my father, right?
So, agreement between us?
I am in agreement with you? Aunt Martha's funny jokes.
I think you understand perfectly what I'm talking about.
Your Excellency...
Do you know what?
What you say... rub your ass!
Everyone on the place. Mr. Jones, please...
Okay, we're shooting.
Camera!
Scene 936. Shot 1.
The camera goes.
