The Girl of Your Dreams is a 1998 Spanish drama film produced and directed by
Fernando Trueba based on facts: during the
Spanish Civil War, cinema studios supported the
Republic, so Franco's followers had to go to Germany or Italy to make fictional films at
Universum Film AG, known as UFA studios in Berlin to shoot both Spanish and German language versions. For example, in 1938
Florián Rey filmed
Carmen, la de Triana and a German-language double film named
Andalusische Nächte (English:
Nights in Andalusia), both starring
Imperio Argentina, an actress with whom, according to legend,
Hitler fell in love. Imperio Argentina sued producers and director for using her life without permission to make this film. In Trueba's film, Joseph
Goebbels falls in love with the Spanish
Andalusian actress Macarena Granada (
Penélope Cruz).
