A documentary that narrates the story of Antonio Moreno: the first Spaniard who achieved great success in Hollywood. “The Spanish Dancer” was also the title of the movie in which Moreno starred together with the legendary Pola Negri at the peak of his Hollywood career in 1923. This serves also as a starting point of this investigation into the life of the first Spanish born star in Tinseltown that takes us on a journey through the forgotten history of the Spanish cinema. There isn’t an extensive biography of Antonio Moreno, no one has ever made a documentary of his life. The challenge of this project consists of presenting more than a fact sheet, the author truly wants to find out who was this mysterious character, once a great Hollywood star, now so unjustly sidelined in the history of cinema.
