Follow the Legion ( Spanish: ¡A mí la legión!) is a 1942 Spanish drama film directed by Juan de Orduña and starring Alfredo Mayo, Luis Peña and Manuel Luna. [1]
Set in North Africa and in the Legion, it shows the friendship between soldiers, which leads 'El Grajo' to investigate a murder to exonerate a comrade-in-arms and friend. Exaltation of a model soldier of the time in Spain and of the so-called 'military values'.
The film poster was made by José Peris Aragó in a 105.5 x 72 cm format. In it, you can see El Grajo and Mauro (of whom only his head is shown) dressed in military dress shown in the background with the Spanish flags waving. [2]
A critic from Fotogramas magazine commented on her that "she is the mythical legionnaire that had so much prestige during the Franco regime and that some nostalgics continue to yearn for." [3]
