Spanish War: With General Franco (1938)

Spain. Various shots of General Franco appearing at a rally before a large crowd of people. Men in old-fashioned (mediaeval and 18th century?) costume carry lamps and spears, symbolising Spain’s honour. Franco holds his right arm out in a salute, as do the people in the crowd. Commentator says Franco is “acting the part of El Caudillio - The Chief“. Men in uniforms carrying rifles march through a town, passing Franco who is standing on a platform. Franco salutes the troops. Brief C/U of Franco. Note: duplicate story exists with Italian commentary - see separate record. FILM ID: A VIDEO FROM BRITISH PATHÉ.
