Manos
Although Diego's politics were politically Left,there was a limit to his risk-taking, given the dangers at that tme.
This playing of the Marseilles was not done at Casa Pepe (It was generally rumored that the Franco regime or the Guardia Civil or the police had a spy "stationed" at Bar Pepe), but at another less public location. The filming was also done by an American and never really circulated until a couple of years ago.
I will say though that during one of the times when I was in Moron, evidently Diego was taken aside by the police and threatened with a beating unless he kept his mouth a little more closed. (At this point I think Diego had too much status in and out off the town for teh police to actually beat him)
I cannot 100% vouch for the truth of this story, but it was something much talked about in the days following its supposed occurrence
(This story not to be confused with Diego and some friends actaully spending time in jail early in Franco's regime because one of those friends was openly anti-fascist)
