Resumen de Jardiel se explica: los Celuloides rancios
This article describes the origins, materials, process, and ultimate destiny of the experimental “literary” synchronization in Jardiel’s six short films called Celuloides Rancios. With his experience as a comic writer, and his visit to Hollywood in the early 30s, and as an all-around man of his times, he took the Fox series Movie Tintypes as a starting point to ideologically and dramatistically reconstruct them into his film shorts. The article compares and contrasts the North American originals with the “jardelian” model which would be often imitated.
