El cine de Alejandro Casona y el <em>fantasma</em> de la Institución Libre de Enseñanza

Abstract

The Spanish playwright Alejandro Casona written during his exile in Argentina nearly twenty films, original scripts and adaptations. Very few can be seen in Spain. Censorship Franco believes that they are signed by an intellectual who defends, as he made clear Nuestra Natacha, the ideas of the Institucion Libre de Ensenanza (Free Institute of Education): secularism, Freemasonry, coeducation, women’s liberation... The few titles projected in Spanish cinemas suffer cuts, long periods of quarantine or the censorship gives permission because, in a time of international isolation, is a sign of tolerance.
