Juan de Orduña
Juan de Orduña y Fernández-Shaw (27 December 1900 – 3 February 1974) was a Spanish film director, screenwriter and actor. Subservient to the ideological tenets and preferences of Francoism, he was one of the regime's standout directors during the autarchy period. Nevertheless, his film "Follow the Legion" has been seen as a disguised story of homosexual love, and de Orduña was a homosexual. He particularly earned recognition for his epic-historicist films, including the extravagant Madness for Love (1948), "an immense commercial success".
