La Guerre et Fini (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0060481/synopsis)
By the way, Behold a Pale Horse, which stars Gregory Peck and Omar Sharif, is fantastic.

...Behold a Pale Horse, which stars Gregory Peck and Omar Sharif, is fantastic...
The story is loosely based on the last raid of Francisco Sabate carried out in 1960. The movie is based on the novel by Emeric Pressburger who co-directed several classic British films with Michael Powell.
For an account of Sabate's life see Sabaté: Guerrilla Extraordinary and The Anarchist Resistance to Franco both by Antonio Tellez.

Anything with Ariadna Gil :wub:
The only war-related non documentary movie I know about being filmed in Republican Spain (aside from Malraux's movie) was ˇCentinela, alerta! but there must be more.
If you want an irreverent mindfuck watch Arrabal's Viva la muerte. The director was a refugee and it's a (surreal retelling of) his experiences as a child during and immediately after the war.
a very uncomplicated American newsreel-style account from 1937, narrated by Orson Welles and scripted by Hemingway, that gives an idea of progressive left-liberal sentiment at the time is Joris Ivens' The Spanish Earth.
