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]
Plot
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'.
Sign
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]
