La Nina de Tus Ojos (The Girl of Your Dreams)

Spain, directed by Fernando Trueba (Belle Epoque).

This is a charming, well produced, directed and acted film about a troupe of actors from Franco's Spain visiting and working with German actors to produce two versions of the same film. Set in Nazi Germany and overseen by Goebbels, who is after the leading lady (Penelope Cruz), this movie starts out light-hearted and funny, but ends gravely.

Using Jewish prisoners as extras in their film leads the Spanish troupe into many unexpected consequences, especially when "the most Fascist of all" is mistaken for an escaped Jew and tortured in a prison camp.

Worth watching, and I'm on a Trueba kick now. I like his style.
