Who is Paco Zarra?

& what happened to him? The last I saw of him - he was getting into a limo with one of those nasty Russians. The entire Civil War period is handled very badly. Franco ruled Spain with an iron fist & unlike his BFFs Hitler & Mussolini - he survived WW2 & lived well into the 70's. He finally died in 1975 & SNL used to have an on-going skit "Franco is still dead". In this movie all you see are some wishy washy cocktail liberals (not quite commies) aligning themselves with real commies. Robert Duvall has a cameo as a Russian general. The true horror of this Civil War is only hinted at. Both sides were guilty of atrocities. Franco even had concentration camps to rival Hitler's. Unfortunately this is all used as a backdrop for a soft core porn movie starring Nicole & Clive. Hemingway eventually blew his brains out & Gellhorn turned into Glenn Close.
