			This French silent movie of 1929 reflects behind it the rupture of Dalí and Lorca's relationship.

			In this context, the word "perro" (dog) is an insult, as in English "that's a dog of a topic/job".

			"Andalusian" is unquestionably a reference to Lorca. He was by far the

			The ''Sonetos de amor oscuro'' is a collection of Petrarchan sonnets on homosexual themes. Although their existence was known to Lorca's friends since they were written (Lorca frequently read his works aloud), their existence was denied by Lorca's homophobic family, who refuse to use Lorca's well-documented title to this day. They were first published in French translation. The Spanish originals were published clandestinely and illegally in 1983.

When it was finally confirmed there was a huge international eruption of support: books published, newspaper articles, homages.

			The Nationalist (Catholic, monarquist) side did not make any public statement about the assassination. (Hints brought quick international outrage.) This meant there was never any closure on the event. The assassination, once knowledge of it (minus details) became publiic, was used for propaganda purposes by the elected republican government, to rally support for their cause. The U.S., U. K., and many other countries, with leftist Russia and Mexico the only exceptions, took a "hands off" position toward the whole affair. Publicizing the assassination was in part an unsuccessful attemp to pressure countries to support the elected government.

			There was, however, a considerable outpouring of individual support.

There has long been a dissenting point of view, noting that while Lorca was unquestionably leftist during most of his life, he showed symptoms of affiliation, at least in spirit, with the Catholic, monarchist rebels. The growing sense of chaos in Spanish cities led many influential figures, such as [[Miguel de Unamuno]], to briefly support the uprising.
