abstract = "Although Franco-era film adaptations of the Spanish comedia are often dis-missed as propaganda due to the regime{\textquoteright}s broader ideological use of the Golden Age to promote {\textquoteleft}traditional{\textquoteright} Spanish values, this essay suggests that these films merit closer scrutiny. Saenz de Heredia{\textquoteright}s 1950 film Don Juan is both a response to Hollywood{\textquoteright}s Adventures of Don Juan (Vincent Sherman, 1948) and a narrative film that, while reclaiming the Don Juan legend as Spanish cultural patrimony, reveals inherent contradictions and flaws in Franco{\textquoteright}s idea of Spain and Spanishness. Superficially, it is ideologically orthodox, but closer examination reveals how the film is symptomatic of defects in Franco{\textquoteright}s projected vision of Spain.",
