Under the command of general Eisenhower,

allied naval forces strongly supported by the air force

began landing allied armies this morning

on the northern coast of France.

Work on the mausoleum which Franco ordered to be built near Madrid continues.

Our sources inform us that just as has been done with other public works,

prisoners of war are being employed to provide the manual labor.

Actress Macarena Granada and Austrian film director

Otto von Fischer couldn't wait to conclude their work on The Slave

to make public their romance and have tied the knot in Palm Springs

during some down-time in their film shoot.

Macarena Granada and Hollywood-based

Austrian film director Otto von Fischer

have announced that they are filing for divorce

after less than a year of marriage.

Last Wednesday, in Hollywood,

Spanish star Macarena Granada won the Oscar for Best Actress

and dedicated the award to her father,

who died in a Francoist prison during the Spanish Civil War.

It's very good, very good, but--

It is almost ready?

It's beautiful.

- Thank you. - It's a work of art.

Emilio Ruiz, great artist.

Let me present you a person.

Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you.

My friend. Jordan, look to the camera.

Look.

Mm-mm.

Yeah, yeah, of course. If you want to.

Ah!

You don't have to thank me at all,

we needed a real professional--

Here they told me that...

...better than you.

Make a toast with you guys.

Thanks.

You're welcome.

They're talking about making comedies.

They think that comedies is the best...

Tell me what in the name of hell, are we doing here,

a couple of Jews making a movie about Queen Isabella of Castille?

What I've lost in this forsaken country?

We haven't lost a damn thing.

What we found are "Non-transferable funds".

Isn't that what they call it?

Plus there's Generalissimo Franco's protection.

- Where are your scruples? - Scruples?

I'm a movie producer, I go where the money is.

Ay-ay-ay-ay-ay.

Congratulations.

Wonderful work.

- He liked it. - Fantastic.

We are very lucky to have you.

Sir--

Who-who are these people?

I think they are the secret police--

Get back!

Bravo!

Thanks.

Mr. Jones. What you like the most about Spain?

Oh, well, evidently, Spanish women.

There's nothing more beautiful than a Spanish woman.

When will we able to speak to Mr. Scott?

Mr. Scott is recovering from a long long trip.

This will be his 192nd movie.

In all these years, he's never, ever granted an interview.

Sir?

Sorry to interrupt you--

We need you to check Fernando's costume.

Well--

How do I look?

The prettiest king I've ever seen.

Do you think its catholic enough or do I need a crucifix or something?

He should know. He is Irish.

First positions.

Places everyone!

Sir, we are ready!

Now, we are ready!

Mr. Jones, please. A photo for the paper.

- What? - A photo for the paper.

Ah.

OK. Be quiet, please!

Places everyone!

Motor!

Rolling!

Three hundred fourteen, take one.

- Sir? - Action.

Action!

Isabella!

Fernando!

That's a good thing to have the biographer on the set.

It's usually the screenwriter who's thrown off.

What the heck is going on? Are we shooting the scene or what?

- Sorry, Mr. Jones. - We've been standing around here for a--

Hey--you must be--

Oh! Julián Torralba, Gary Jones. King Boabdil, King Fernando.

- Call me Gary. - Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you. Welcome to the madhouse.

I am studying English.

Oh, good, good, you should.

- Yeah. - Let me fill you in.

The director is a bit of a lush-- Know what I mean?

- Yes-- - Been in Hollywood too long.

Hollywood! Hollywood. My dream--

- Hmm. - Movies--

- Oh. - In Spain--poor--money--

- Oh--that's too bad. - Mmm.

You should meet my agent. Hey, Bill!

Mr. Larsen, from the William Morris Agency.

This is Julián--

- Torralba. - Torralba.

Mr. Jones, we are ready to shoot! Ready to shoot!

Duty calls. I'll see you later.

Yes. Yes, yes.

Three hundred fifteen, take one.

Action.

Action!

- Isabella! - Fernando!

Boabdil accepts capitulation.

Granada surrenders at your feet.

Spain is yours.

No, Fernando.

Spain is ours.

Ours.

Cut.

That felt good, right?

Yes.

Look out!

Mr. Scott--

Hi.

We need to speak about the character

because I don't think I understand her--

I'm listening to you, dear--

Well, I'm reading the biography on this woman

and I'm finding out things-- incredible things

that nobody had told me.

I mean, I had the idea that this woman was a saint!

She was anything but.

She through the Jews out of Spain.

She did the same thing with the Muslims.

She organized the Inquisition

and on top of that, she was a pig,

who swore never to wash until she won Granada back.

I mean--

Anyway--

None of this appears in the script.

Mr. Scott?

Jordan, help me here--

Who is this woman?

Is she a saint or a swine?

Even if she is one thing and portray as another,

I have to know.

I don't like it much either.

What do you want me to say?

I don't know. You are the writer

Theoretically.

What do you mean theoretically?

Well, my name doesn't appear in the credits.

That's something I'm grateful for.

- See the Last days of Pompey? - Yes. Wonderful.

Oh, sorry, wish you hadn't.

My name doesn't appear in those credits either.

I can't sign my name to it.

I had to come here because of the McCarthy witch hunts.

I was black-listed.

That's terrible--

But someone is gonna have to explain to me what I'm doing.

Look. I wrote this script about Columbus,

but Mr. Franco decided that he'd help us if we made something about Queen Isabella.

So I had to re-write it.

It took me three days, six bottles of whiskey.

We worked under the watchful eyes of Franco's people.

So, what is both of our best interest

is for us to keep our noses clean and our mouths shut.

It's a word of advice.

Let me tell you something else,

it will help with your relations with Scott.

What relations?

I heard you were with Strasberg at the Actors' Studio.

Yes.

Make sure he doesn't find out.

Oh, my God.

Huh? Kiss? No, no, no.

No, no, no.

No, no, no.

No.

No, Gary. Kiss no.

Now--

Let's see what little treasure you have down there. Hmm?

Such a dark face,

such a pale bottom.

What a lovely contrast.

Get the actors ready for the close-ups.

Get the other actors on the horses, please.

Um, this is only the second unit work.

It gets really uncomfortable for you.

Not necessary.

Second unit.

Communist Party of America.

Sir, uh, please, put-put it back.

Put it back. It's very dangerous.

OK, let's go.

See you later.

I was here in '37--

with the Lincoln Brigade.

Come with us.

Look, Julian,

I just wanted to say I'm-- I'm sorry about everything.

Well, I don't understand what you're saying, but--

I just hope that we can be friends.

No, no, no. No friends. No friends! No friends.

No friends!

- No? - Nothing.

OK.

Rolling!

I love you too.
