This complex and confusing Spanish feature intercuts stories from 1936, 1940, 1970 and 1988, and has Victoria Abril play three different parts in them. The lives of many people are shown to be tangled together in nearly incomprehensible ways, and many of the characters are prone to engage in unsavory sexual acts involving fetishism and sadomasochism. ~ Clarke Fountain, Allrovi

Plot/Synopsis:
The first Navarrese Company was formed to fight for Charles II of Navarre against Charles V of France. In 1366, after peace was made, the mercenaries were organised into a coherent company of soldiers under Louis, Count of Beaumont-le-Roger in his own right and Duke of Durazzo in right of his wife, Joanna. Louis was a brother of Charles of Navarre, who supported his endeavour to recapture lost Durazzo and the regnum Albaniae. Charles of France likewise aided him with 50,000 ducats.
In 1372, the Navarrese ranks began to swell through the recruiting techniques of Enguerrand VII de Coucy, who was hired to form a force of 500 lances and 500 cavalry archers, mostly from Gascony. Though these soldiers were recruited for service in Albania, they were first organised in Naples. In 1375 and 1376, many men from Navarre began enlisting and travelled directly to Albania to join their countrymen. The enrollment lists for those years have been preserved in Pamplona and reveal the important presence of many engineers. The total number of men which left Tortosa between February 1375 and June 1376 was in the thousands. They were paid thirty gold Aragonese florins a month.
In 1376, Louis and the Navarrese captured Durazzo, thus reestablishing the regnum Albaniae.

Louis died that same year, leaving the Navarrese unemployed. They put themselves under at the command of the Peter IV of Aragon early in 1377 and were formed as four companies, commanded by four captains: the Gascon Mahiot of Coquerel and Pedro de la Saga and the Navarrese Juan de Urtubia and Guarro.

La conquista de Albania (The Conquest of Albania) is a 1984 Spanish film about this episode.

Alain L’Yle … American Officer
Roland Travers … Nazi

Plot/Synopsis:

Skinny blonde über-whore Ingrid Schüler (Monica Swinn) is having a pretty good war. She’s the main attraction at the local Nazi officers club where her poor-girls-Dietrich impersonation goes down a treat with the swastika crowd. Behind the scenes however we discover that Ingrid is just going along to get along, she despises the Nazis but she’s not dumb enough to oppose them, like her college pal Greta and her father. As news breaks that Hitler’s army has begun the invasion of Russia it’s party time in the nightclub. Ingrid’s lover/handler Stürmbahnfuhrer Otto Kramer implores her in a wide eyed religious frenzy “Please Ingrid liebchen dance! Because I want them to see the purest Aryan among German women!” so she does indeed get up and shake her bony butt a little bit.
Must have made quite an impression because the very next day Ingrid’s been chosen to head up a new morale boosting military operation. Yup she’s going to be boss of Hitler’s ‘special train’. Made up of volunteers (including a countess) and a few political rebels – the women of this train will be providing entertainment to the officers fighting at the front. It’s not long however before they all realize that they are little more than a traveling whorehouse. The countess takes this quite badly so Otto slaps her around and rides her like a pony till she shuts up. A series of lurid vignettes follows as the love train goes about it’s kinky business. Before long Ingrid’s college pal Greta has joined the whore express too.

Things chug along smoothly until the train reaches the front lines and the women are ordered to service the drunken rank and file soldiers as well as the officers! Luckily a young Nazi Captain with some honor and decency (and a boner for Greta) saves them and orders the drunken rabble off the train. Greta swoons, romance blossoms, the Captain leaves for a bit, the Polish freedom fighters spring a trap and take over the train, d’oh! Turns out they had a Polish spy in with the women all along, the bird with the short hair, naturally. Cue some more manhandling of the women (the countess receives what has to be the longest spanking in movie history surely) and a whole lot of stock tank war footage from some other film crudely inserted into this one. With the Nazis on one side, the Russians on the other and the Americans coming up the middle, who will administer the final spanking to the poor ladies of the love train – you’ll have to watch it to find out!

Film One – The Youth of Peter the Great (1981).
The first part of the two films about the Russian Emperor Peter the Great, based upon the novel “Peter the First” by Alexei Tolstoy. Combined in this two-series epic are the colorful personality of Peter, the ever interesting “fatal minutes” of world history, the literary talent of “Red Count” Alexei Tolstoy and the mastery of one of the best Soviet film directors – Sergey Gerasimov.
The years of the tsar’s adolescence and youth were permeated with deadly danger coming from some of the Boyars, the rebellious Streltsy and Tsarevna Sophia who aspired for power. But already at that early time Peter demonstrates a profound, bright intellect, a strong will and the sense of purpose, which help him disarm both his open and secret enemies.
The second film – At the Beginning of Glorious Days (1987)
At the end of the 17th century, without an access to sea, Russia is in a vulnerable position in foreign trade. Peter the Great attempts to conquer the Turkish sea fortress of Azov but realises that could only be done with a modern fleet. To the amazement of Europe, he goes to Holland and works at a dock learning the know-how of shipbuilding…
This is the second of the two films dedicated to Peter the Great, based on the eponymous novel of Alexei Tolstoy. Actor Dmitri Zolotukhin (Peter the Great) was named the most popular actor of 1981 after the poll conductd by Soviet Screen magazine. …
