Wasn’t there a movie titled “Eleni” that portrayed the Spanish Civil War. If I recall correctly, the commies were actually shown as the bad guys.
That's what I gather. But it was about Communist tyranny in Greece, which has never been talked about much in the US. I'm sure that's why that movie could be made, by the way. If Hollywood liberals had been tutored by Soviet disinformation on the subject of Greece as they were on Cuba and Spain, I'm guessing no one would have touched the project.
Eleni was about the Greek Civil War that took place after WW 2.
