Eisenhower had made a deal with Franco to establish major air force and naval bases on Spanish territory…. The thousands of servicemen who worked there needed living space, schools for their children, restaurants, and recreation…. Bronston was not the only American producer who had discovered the advantages of filmmaking in Spain…. It was frequently cheaper for Americans to come over to Spain with the cast and much of their crew than to work in their own backyard at home. In addition, American films completely dominated the screens in Madrid. Down on the Gran Vía, which was the Broadway of the city, all the film palaces featured American films. The only concession to the Spanish was that the films could not be exhibited in English with Spanish subtitles…. Along with the filmmaking (and the dollars it brought in) and the film exhibiting (and the dollars it took out), the Americanization of old culture had really begun. Coca-Cola and Marlboro billboards dominated the landscape. American music was even more ubiquitous.226
