Juan De Orduña
Juan de Orduña y Fernández-Shaw (27 December 1900 – 3 February 1974) was a Spanish film director, screenwriter and actor. Subservient to the ideological tenets and preferences of Francoism, he was one of the regime's standout directors during the autarchy period. Nevertheless, his film "Follow the Legion" has been seen as a disguised story of homosexual love, and de Orduña was a homosexual. He particularly earned recognition for his epic-historicist films, including the extravagant ''Madness for Love'' (1948), "an immense commercial success". Filmography * ''Me has hecho perder el juicio'' (1973) * ''Eusébio, la Pantera Negra'' (1973) * ''El caserío'' (1972) * ''El huésped del sevillano (film), El huésped del sevillano'' (1970) * ''The Complete Idiot (1970 film), The Complete Idiot'' (1970) * ''Bohemios'' (1969) * ''La canción del olvido'' (1969) * ''The Troublemaker (1969 film), The Troublemaker'' (1969) * ''Farewell to Marriage'' (1968) * ''Maruxa (film), Maruxa'' ( ...

Films Scored By Juan Quintero Muñoz
A film, also known as a movie or motion picture, is a work of visual art that simulates experiences and otherwise communicates ideas, stories, perceptions, emotions, or atmosphere through the use of moving images that are generally, since the 1930s, synchronized with sound and (less commonly) other sensory stimulations. Etymology and alternative terms The name "film" originally referred to the thin layer of photochemical emulsion on the celluloid strip that used to be the actual medium for recording and displaying motion pictures. Many other terms exist for an individual motion-picture, including "picture", "picture show", "moving picture", "photoplay", and "flick". The most common term in the United States is "movie", while in Europe, "film" is preferred. Archaic terms include "animated pictures" and "animated photography". "Flick" is, in general a slang term, first recorded in 1926. It originates in the verb flicker, owing to the flickering appearance of early films. ...
