Gag Halfrunt ◊ 2015-10-13 17:12	Or perhaps the scene was filmed in France. This review (which I'm sure was translated by computer) says: Quote "Sierra of Teruel" has been considered a clandestine Film. It began to roll in the republican Spain in 1938, and unfinished of filmed, the team had to go into exile in France in 1939, when the troops of the general Franco entered in Catalonia. In France completed mount, but when the Nazis entered there, destroyed the original negatives. Despite this, was saved a copy to which it was amputated fragments of the end, were included new placards between sequences and be manipulated the titles of credit. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0037680/reviews

LVCDC ◊ 2015-10-13 17:29	If some filming started in Spain, lack of time and money and ... film strip (!) led to some scenes were shot once Malraux was back in France.
DidierF ◊ 2015-10-13 17:30	Well documented writing by Édouard Waintrop about the filming and the fate of the movie here: http://www.malraux.org/images/documents/2009_4_waintrop.pdf (in French). I note (p.4) "In Paris [after january 1939], Malraux gets the help of the pilot and film producer Édouard Corniglion-Molinier. He then can direct some missing sequences, and back projections, and add sound with Max Aub and the musical score by Darius Milhaud. And then, he works on the editing. The movie has its premiere in Paris during summer 1939, in presence of Juan Negrin, last premier of the Spanish republican government, now exilee."
