After filming " mechanical pianos, Bardem faced forward the project to adapt to film the novel The king and queen , Ramon J. Sender. He even had for quite secure the participation of Charlotte Rampling and starring Anthony Quinn. The Paramount, the producer was interested in shooting it, was to pay royalties to Sender when he met with surprise that it had already sold to a French producer. It tried to negotiate with the producer, but unsuccessful, so it became a point of no return and the film was never heard.
George Rigaud and Thomas White.
Bardem is when you intend to shoot a war film for American market. Be shot in English in co-production between Spain and Italy and mainly foreign players. The director accepts the proposal, although not involved in the script. In fact, this is the only feature which does not participate in writing the script, just gives you a few finishing touches.
The action takes place the day the armistice of World War II, as indicated in the title. A U.S. patrol is charged with finding a German scientist who keep secrets in the wrong hands would be very dangerous (the Hitchcockian McGuffin). Unfortunately, a Nazi officer is willing to find it before, despite that his army was defeated.
Giacomo Rossi-Stuart and Bruno Sismondi.
Advertising announces it this way: "An anti-war film Bardem will leave a deep impression on every viewer." The truth is that the alleged charge of anti-war film is stuck with a shoehorn and is rather negligible for the viewer medium. In addition, results in a cumbersome dialogues not without affectation.
George Maharis and Maria Perschy.
Otherwise, we face the typical "military achievement" that was so popular during those years, perfectly constructed, but the basic story can captivate the viewer.
Carl Rapp and Gérard Herter. Bardem
incorporates documentary footage of the action, occasionally insistently insisting on alleged parallels. There are also several aerial images.
For its premiere had to remove a scene where Sancho Gracia fooling around on a couch with two sisters and their mother, for authorization for over 14 years, since otherwise would have prohibited under 18.
Katie Muloy, Sancho Gracia, Joy Saxon and Teresa McCarter.
Although the critical detachment had already begun to be evident in the magnificent "Nothing ever happens", which some street branded retail, it is with this film that the critics of the film mostly distance Bardem.
Maria Perschy.
The cast meets functionality within the discretion, although it is true that a film with George Maharis heading the cast, does not have much commercial pull. At least we find the exquisite actress Austrian Maria Perschy, nor has much chance to shine.
Did you know ...?
mayor's grandson is played by Bardem own son.
Although the action takes place in Austria, was shot in the Aran Valley.
