Paso Doble

The name 'Paso Doble' in Spanish means 'Two Step'(Smith, 1971, 416), and may be distinguished from 'Paso a Dos' which means 'Dance for two'. "Two Step" refers to the marching nature of the steps, which may be counted '1,2' for 'Left, Right'. This may be contrasted with its description as the 'Spanish One Step', so called because only one step is taken to each beat of music (Burchfield, 1976, III / 293).    See all

Review

First saw this film when it was on TV a couple of years ago. Wow. I'd not long ago seen "Shrek 2" and my dad was going on about how so much of Puss In Boots' character had been taken from Zorro that I decided I wanted to have a look. I got my chance a couple of months later, and let me tell you, I was still laughing my head off the next day.   See all

"I like pre-production and post the best. I don't like shooting at all. I find it grueling and tough, but I love post and the whole process of seeing the film finally come together. You start ironing out all the rough spots, and the really bad bits you just throw away. So from day one of post to the last day, you see nothing but improvements."   MARTIN CAMPBELL
