Description
Summary:Billy Wilder is more popular and glorified in Spain than anywhere else. Estados de Gracia traces this remarkable fact back to Wilder¿́¿s key role in renewing the film repertoire under Franco. Even though Wilder¿́¿s films were rewritten and censored in Francoist Spain, many viewers still found them far more exciting than most domestic productions. Drawing on a wealth of censorship files, reviews and dubbings, Estados de Gracia illuminates this paradoxical process of canonization despite censorship. Vandaele studies the censors and their activities, the manipulative translations, and the Francoist system of norms applied to Wilder. He also asks if Wilder¿́¿s humor somehow helped subvert that system and signals that the Spanish dubbings shown today are still partly Francoist. Billy Wilder es ma¿¿s popular y glorificado en Espan¿¿a que en cualquier otro pai¿¿s. Estados de Gracia relaciona esta observacio¿¿n con el papel clave que desempen¿¿o¿¿ Wilder en la renovacio¿¿n del repertorio cinematogra¿¿fico bajo Franco. Aunque manipuladas, sus peli¿¿culas encarnaban para muchos espectadores algo emocionante en vez de dogma¿¿ticamente franquista. Apoya¿¿ndose en informes de censura, resen¿¿as y doblajes franquistas, Vandaele ilumina este parado¿¿jico proceso de canonizacio¿¿n y censura. Estudia a los censores y sus actividades, las traducciones manipulativas, y el sistema normativo franquista aplicado a Wilder. Investiga si el humor de Wilder contribuyo¿¿ posiblemente a subvertir dicho sistema y sen¿¿ala que muchos doblajes que circulan hoy en di¿¿a todavi¿¿a presentan reminiscencias del franquismo.
