España otra vez (in German: once again Spain ) is a Spanish drama by Jaime Jamino, made in 1968, starring Hollywood actor Mark Stevens and his German colleague Marianne Koch , whose penultimate film this was. Three or four years earlier, both actors had already appeared together in front of the camera in the European films The Case X 701 and Retribution in Catano .
action
Spain, in the late 1960s. The famous American neurosurgeon Dr. After three decades of absence, David Foster returns to Barcelona, accompanied by his wife Kathy, to attend an international medical conference. But there is also another, more private reason for his return: Foster once served as a young doctor in the international brigades in the late 1930s during the Spanish Civil War . David also wants to use his stay in Spain to find his former love Maria again, who back then was a nurse who cared for the wounded. However, David only comes across Maria's daughter, who is also called Maria, and who has dedicated herself entirely to the flamenco dance. A passionate attraction soon develops between David and the young woman. The path of memories back into the past is not without pain for Foster.
Production notes
España otra vez was created on site in Spain and was premiered there on a limited scale in 1968. The mass start was on February 3, 1969. Despite Marianne Koch's participation, this film was never shown in Germany (neither cinema nor television).

The film was nominated for the Palme d' Or at the 1969 Cannes Film Festival .
Reviews
"One of the few attempts at a critical analysis of the Spanish reality that came about in the 1960s."
“Camino takes up the subject of civil war again, albeit from a situation that arises during the forced development policy; the film was able to be released despite the usual censorship problems. "
