...modern Barcelona, the feud of two passionate gypsy clans, the Tarantos and the Zorongos, provides a turbulent prologue to the first meeting of young Rafael and Juana at a wedding feast. Dark eyes burn, hands slap out flamenco rhythm, bare feet pound the golden dust: thus Director Rovira-Beleta wordlessly launches a tale of love at first sight with an excitement that Shakespeare himself might envy.

But he refused to pledge himself to Arizona's Senator Barry Goldwater, and the Goldwater forces thereupon steamrollered him. They engineered the election of a lackluster pro-Goldwater woman, thus dealt the Governor a stinging slap...
