Augusto Genina – L’assedio dell’Alcazar aka The Siege of the Alcazar [Italian censored version] (1940)

Set during the Spanish Civil War, Genina’s film celebrates the 70-day defence of the Alcazar fortress in Toledo by Nationalist troops under the command of General Moscardo. It is an example of a documentario romanzato or “fictional documentary”, a combination of historical facts with elements of romanticised fiction.

The principal romantic subplot is the relationship between Captain Vela (Fosco Giachetti) and a nurse (Mireille Balin). Balin’s involvement in this pro-fascist film counted heavily against her when charges of collaboration were made at the end of the war.
